Vibrant photos showcasing A-spec cabaret brilliance

Photographer James Klug captures the incredible performances from asexual and aromantic creatives at The A Show. WORDS BY ZOYA RAZA-SHEIKH PHOTOGRAPHY BY JAMES KLUG In 2023, GAY TIMES sought out emerging queer photographers and help them break into the world of arts, media or advertising.  The lack of funding and opportunities in the arts is one of the key reasons we see a shortage of LGBTQIA+ representation in media and advertising.

Only An Octave Apart is the cabaret-opera crossover we didn’t know we needed – review
