About this listen

A conversation on queer visibility, analog nostalgia, and surviving the algorithm—one photograph at a time.


In this episode of INresidency: Queer & Allied Creatives, photographer Michael Epps joins us from Charleston, SC, to talk about the evolution of his practice—from shooting 120mm film in New York to quietly subverting Instagram’s shadowbans. We discuss his love of black and white photography, the emotional charge of working with nude male subjects, and how soul—not tech—should guide every image. With deep reflections on memory, solitude, and resilience, Epps reminds us why queer art still matters—and why it must be seen. Part of The Pride Collections: Chosen Family series, featuring artists from all over.
