About

An exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery exploring queer identity, community, and love through the lens of one of Britain's foremost photographers. It presents new portraits by Tim Walker, who spent five years photographing dozens of activists, performers, artists, and writers in his whimsical, fairytale-inspired style. Curated by Susanna Brown, the show combines exuberant portraits and fantastical landscapes in a celebration where everyone has the freedom to be themselves, accompanied by a new book with contributions by Travis Alabanza, Russell T Davies, Shon Faye, Lisa Power and Joelle Taylor.
