Since the camera’s invention in 1839, and despite periods of severe homophobia, the photographic art form has been used by and for individuals belonging to dynamic LGBTQ+ communities, helping shape and affirm queer culture and identity across its many intersections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eQueer Lens\u003c\/span\u003e explores this transformative force of photography, which has played a pivotal role in increasing queer visibility. Lively essays by scholars and artists explore myriad manifestations of queer culture, both celebrating complex interpretations of people and relationships and resisting rigid definitions. Featuring a rich selection of images―including portraits of queer individuals, visual records of queer kinship, and documentary photographs of early queer groups and protests―this volume investigates the medium’s profound role in illuminating the vibrant tapestry of LGBTQ+ communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by J.
