TANIA ANDERSON
Gender benders, drag kings, extroverts, fishnets and glitter, performance art and portraits on the fly, Tania Anderson has been photographing in queer communities for over ten years. Tania’s photographs serve as a record that documents queer history, a record that bears witness to the lives of fierce and talented and beautiful and creative queers who continue to push the boundaries, make art, write cool stuff, perform and survive, despite every kind of pressure to behave, be silent, fit in, and forget all about who we are.

JOEY BRUNI
Joey’s passion for art, photography and painting began very early in his life and is fostered daily through his work as an Art Director for CBC. His skills were honed at Durham College, where Joey studied a graphic arts program that also included 2 years of photography. Inspired by extreme contrast in colours, textures and scenery, Joey is drawn to opposing elements – light and dark, angular and circular, solid and transparent, rustic and sleek, traditional and contemporary. Although the majority of his photography is used as the research and basis for his artwork, Joey also enjoys photographing bands and live events.

PAUL BUEN
Paul Buen lives in Toronto, Canada and works as a web designer/developer. He always has a camera on-hand and is usually found wandering the streets with his junk store cameras.

G. ELLIOTT SIMPSON
Geoff is a professional graphic designer living and working in downtown Toronto. Where his visual art and photography are concerned, he draws broadly from his many years of experience in set design, film, theatre and his schooling in psychology to create an unusual (and sometimes unearthly) collision between portraiture and figurative work. He rarely works as a commercial photographer, but does so occasionally when he’s granted a ridiculous amount of creative freedom. He’s only too happy to contribute to a good cause, and is probably best known on his home turf for contributing to ACT’s ‘BDSM: Safer kinky sex’ Brochure.
