Daniel Nicoletta is a San Francisco-based freelance photographer who has been documenting the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and
transgender communities since 1975. He was hired by Harvey Milk to work at Castro Camera and later worked on Milk's supervisorial
campaigns. His work has been featured in
The Times of Harvey Milk,
Sex Is,
The Mayor of Castro Street,
Gay by the Bay, and many other venues.
This collection is a portfolio of 33 images, chosen and arranged by the artist, showcasing the wide range of his work including
informal street scenes and formal studio portraits. Early influences of Diane Arbus particularly informed his fascination
with famous figures in San Francisco's transgender community.
The photographs are in the order preferred by the photographer.
