Kings & Queens in Their Castles might be the most ambitious photo series of the LGBTQ experience in the USA. Over the course of 15 years, Atwood has photographed more than 350 subjects from 30 states, including dozens of families and nearly 100 celebrities. The work offers a window into the lives and homes of some of America’s most intriguing and eccentric personalities. The images portray whimsical, intimate moments of daily life that shift between the pictorial and the theatrical. Alongside creatives such as artists, fashion designers, writers, actors, directors, music makers and dancers, the series features business executives, politicians, journalists, activists and religious leaders. It includes farmers, beekeepers, doctors, chefs, bartenders and innkeepers. It also showcases urban bohemians, beatniks, mavericks and iconoclasts, many of whom blossomed in the 1960s and 1970s but seem to be slowly disappearing.
