Instagram Takeover: Peyton Fulford

In the lead up week to Brighton & Hove Pride, we invited photographer Peyton Fulford to take over our Instagram account. With an emphasis on narrative portraiture, Peyton's personal work focuses on the documentation of queerness in the American South.

Peyton Fulford (b.1994) is a photographer based in Atlanta, Georgia. She received a BFA in Photography at Columbus State University in 2017.

Her photography has been shown world-wide in solo and group exhibitions including Labs New Artists II at Red Hook Labs, Photo London at Somerset House, and Photo Vogue Festival at Base Milano. Her work has been commissioned and featured in TIME Magazine, The New York Times, Getty Images, British Journal of Photography, among others.

Hi! This is Atlanta-based photographer @peytonfulford – In support of #BrightonPride week, I will be doing an #instagramtakeover and sharing a selection of images from my ongoing project ‘Infinite Tenderness’. With an emphasis on narrative portraiture, my personal work focuses on the documentation of queerness in the American South. Drawing from my own experience growing up as a queer individual in Albany, Georgia, I am interested in bringing a new visual understanding to the lives of the LGBTQ+ community growing up in rural areas, specifically those who identify as trans and non-binary. – – – – – Backbend, 2016 #Photoworks_uk #PeytonFulford
