Disability and Sexuality

After breaking my neck in 2009, I spent months in rehab learning how my new body worked — how to move, breathe, and function. But when it came to sexuality, especially as a gay man, my medical team had nothing to offer. They weren’t equipped to talk about pleasure, desire, or intimacy beyond clinical basics, and certainly not for someone like me. When I returned to school, I knew I had to explore those questions myself. Disability and Sexuality became my first deep dive, photographing and connecting with other disabled men to understand how we relate to our bodies and to each other. These portraits are tender, curious, and unapologetic, showing that disability doesn’t erase desire — it reshapes it. This series wasn’t just my first project after injury; it was how I reclaimed my sexuality, built connection, and started defining what intimacy looked like on my own terms.
