The Gay Men Project is an online undertaking by photographer Kevin Truong to capture self-identified gay men in their environment to give viewers a sense of who they are and the life they lead.
Subtle and unshowy, the photographs provide glimpses into gay men’s ordinary and extraordinary lives. Often, the portraits are accompanied by the subject’s personal story, which are just as interesting as the photographs. Truong has photographed over two hundred men in four countries thus far, with plans for many more.
While initially the Gay Men Project began as a venue for his own photography, the series has since expanded and Truong is actively seeking photo contributions from anyone interested in being a part of the project, as well as participants for the photographs he himself shoots. Truong recently shared with me his inspiration and goals for the Gay Men Project, and his reasons for expanding the project to include contributions from others.
