Smith Galtney

Smith Galtney is a Maine-based photographer, writer, and documentarian. A storyteller at heart, his work — a mix of autobiography and fiction, images and text — concerns experience, everything we gain and lose with age, the way our pasts continually unfold and reveal themselves, and how the profound changes in gay culture through the last thirty years are both liberating and alienating. Born and raised in New Orleans, he graduated from New York University, the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies, and the International Center of Photography. A longtime entertainment journalist, his writing has appeared in The New York Times, GD, Rolling Stone, The Village Voice, and NPR, among other publications.
