The Queering of Photography (2015–24) explores the complex relationship between queer identity and photographic representation. It has been produced with a large format plate camera in collaboration with the London LGBTQ+ community in studio locations and at an art residency at the British School at Rome. Rooted in classical studio portraiture, this work is composed of formal yet playful photographs of humans, Roman statues, and studio props. The title refers to this playfulness which becomes a strategy to explore new possibilities of ‘queering’ by critically attuning to the photographic production. The Queering of Photography has developed through the following subprojects: Looking Out, Looking In; Frame; Figural, Figurative; Turn; and Skin.
