Juried Competition Honorable Mention Angal Field is a 24 year-old non-binary trans photographer, writer, and filmmaker. They graduated Barnard College of Columbia University in 2016 with a B.A. in English. Originally from Portland, Oregon, they currently reside in New York City, as a working artist. “”Beaches, Bedrooms” depicts young queer subjects indoors and along various coastlines. The project emerged out of my own gender bloom and has expanded my understanding of the many possible ways to live in a body. Recalling the subject matter of Rineke Dijkstra, in its homage to the sea and dedication to youth in transition; the fashion inspired composition of Collier Schorr’s Neighbors; and the idiosyncratic perspectives of Northern Renaissance paintings, this photographic body adheres to these portrait traditions and marks a shifting field of optics." 📷: ‘Tom Cat,’ 2017. @angalisfield #baxterstccny #photography

Juried Competition Winner Dannielle Bowman was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. She received a BFA from The Cooper Union in 2011 and an MFA from The Yale School of Art in 2018. "Dannielle Bowman’s work is engaged with ideas around time, history, landscape and visibility. She is particularly interested in how various landscapes have been used throughout history by certain people to gain power over others. In her work, she is asking questions about privilege and power gained through access to land and information. Her photos work to challenge the privileged histories passed down through selective telling of certain stories based on what information, people and places have been deemed important and what information, people and places have not." 📷: ‘Mine,’ 2018. #danniellebowman #baxterstccny #photography

Juried Competition Honorable Mention Christian DeFonte is a photographer from San Jose, California. He received his BFA in Photography from Bard College in 2012. Christian is currently based in Brooklyn but makes work wherever he goes. “These photographs are from short trips to New Orleans to visit my father, Vinsantos. He, she, or as Vinsantos has been called, It, moved to New Orleans from San Francisco, almost a decade ago. With the move he brought with him his unique style of drag that he developed in the 90’s as an integral figure in the Trannyshack scene. However, his peculiar form of drag was not widely embraced by the pageant-dominated drag scene in New Orleans. As someone who is pretty much allergic to conformity in any sense, Vinsantos started the New Orleans Drag Workshop to carve out a space for himself and anyone with a desire to explore the art of drag, regardless of their gender or sexual identity. This selection is part of a body of work that grows with each visit I make." 📷: ‘Untitled (my first time in drag),’ 2014. @deathfonte #baxterstccny #photography

Juried Competition Honorable Mention Ken Castaneda is an artist working and living in Brooklyn, NY. He holds a BFA in Photography and Video from the School of Visual Arts. “My work deals with language, possibilities, and the familial. The images are pointed at through not only a Latinx American lens, but through a Queer lens. In relation to my family, this newfound Queerness is a conversation between their newly founded American identities and how our actions and attitudes are dictated by the identities we choose to wear in the public and in the private. Not only do I focus the lens on my family but onto myself – subverting traditional roles of machismo, of masculinity, through staged performances of sport and gesture, specifically Lucha Libre, a form of Mexican wrestling." 📷: ‘Mama,’ 2018. @kenslens_ #baxterstccny #photography
