Pride Portraits

Our Story

Pride Portrait's mission is to visually represent the LGBTQIA+ community and its allies one photograph and story at a time. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Visibility and representation for our community is key to promote the humanization of a community that is dehumanized every single day. To date we have photographed 3,000 people around the country. We pride ourselves on never charging to participate in the campaign, which in turn allows everyone the ability to have a platform to be visible regardless of the economic background.

The campaign started off very grassroots but has grown into a nationally recognized campaign having photographed people such as Tom Daley, Cleve Jones, Dustin Lance Black, Nancy Pelosi, Alyssa Milano, Lea DeLaria, Aydian Dowling, Melissa Etheridge, Martha Plimpton, Congressman John Lewis, Beto O'Rourke, DeRay Mckesson, Brian Sims, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Les, Leslie Jordan, Human Rights Campaign President Chad Griffin, Lance Bass, Jim Obergefell, PULSE Nightclub Survivor Tony Marrero, Jacob Tobia, Alyssa Edwards and many more.

Pride Portraits has been nationally recognized by and partnered with Facebook, NASA, FBI, Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD, PFLAG, Victory Fund and Equality Texas among other organizations and universities. Pride Portraits photographs have been featured by Huffington Post, Reuters, Elle Magazine, Harpers Bazaar, Yahoo! News, Good Housekeeping, Apple News, Outsmart Magazine and NBC's Today Show.

During these times of emboldened resistance to equity and equality it would be great for the LGBTQIA+ community to see you represented in the Pride Portraits Campaign.
