Michael McFadden (Chicago, IL) worked within the social services and community health centers for over 15 years, focusing primarily on LGBTQ health and the provision of HIV/AIDS services. He brings this awareness and process into his photographic work. Drawn to raw documentary, environmental portraiture and highly aestheticized stills, Michael utilizes varied photographic approaches, oscillating his focus between the internal and the external, the individual and the communal. His most recent work explores sexual identity and intimacy in a post-PrEP environment. Michael received his B.A. and M.S.W. from Loyola University Chicago and recently graduated from the ICP-Bard M.F.A. Program in Advanced Photographic Studies. He currently resides in Los Angeles, CA.
