The Advocate: TOP-35 Photography

Working with the photographers and artists who contribute their work to Advocate.com has to be the best job here. The photographers are interesting, and it's great to talk shop with them. Plus the range of material we work with is great — everything from sexy to heartbreaking. And this year we have been especially grateful to have more trans imagery than ever before.
