This year, dapperQ will highlight fashion photography with a live screening of our ‘He Said/We Said’ Series – a Project involving 17 Amazing Photographers – our VIPs of the night!
The series has featured many prominant queer figures, such as Gina Mamone, President & CEO of Riot Grrrl, the largest queer lable in the world (music, etc.) and the founders of bklyn boihood. Image by Maro Hagopian via dapperQ.
He Said/We Said is a fashion photography project that documents masculine style worn by women, gender-queers, and trans* identified individuals. It is a regular feature on dapperQ.com, which has received press from the New York Times, Washington Post, Huffington Post, Huffington Post Live, AfterEllen, Autostraddle, Jezebel, and many other media sources.

I really need to talk and get together with the one who's running the show. I have an idea for a show that's going to not only put us on the map but blow it up.
