Love Pictures, published by Radius Books, a series of portraits of loved ones and Dugan’s queer community accompanied by conversations and exchanges with friends and colleagues like Dawoud Bey, Kelli Connell, Dorothy Moss, and Gem Fletcher, are an act of affirmation of the artist’s queer identity, where photography is an act of seeing and valuing, and, in reflection, as a way of being seen by others. It is an intimate, courageous act of trust, of opening up to others to allow them to see and understand, step by step, picture after picture, new forms of relationality, love, and hope.
