Artist Spotlight: Jeff Sheng’s “Fearless” Photos Shed Light on ‘Out’ LGBT Athletes

Posted by Melissa Dubasik

The liveBooks team is pleased to call attention to photography ambassador Jeff Sheng’s recent series of photos, “The Fearless Project”, which sheds light on “out” lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender athletes at the collegiate and high school levels. The project, which chronicles the athletes from 2003-present, has been exhibited on campuses throughout the U.S., at Nike headquarters, and even at the 2012 London Olympics.

After nearly 10 years Sheng is bringing an end to the photography portion of the project with a Kickstarter campaign that has a $50,000 goal.  Mr. Sheng said he intends to shoot 50 more athletes, add them to the 150 he’s profiled already, and then put all 200 or so into a self-published book by 2013.

To display the photos online Mr. Sheng uses a the liveBooks “Prime” Website, with additional pages and the built-in portfolio landing page.
