FEARLESS: PORTRAITS OF LGBT STUDENT ATHLETES by Jeff Sheng

Now available here for $39.50 is Jeff Sheng's hardcover photo book, FEARLESS: Portraits of LGBT Student Athletes.


From 2003 to 2015, Sheng photographed 202 lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender high school and college athletes in the United States and Canada. He says he began this book as a self-exploration of his identity as a closeted high school athlete in the 1990's. Accompanying many of the images are intimate essays written by the out athletes.

The afterword is by retired professional NBA basketball player, Jason Collins.

The 316-page book offers eight covers to choose from. Be sure to visit fearlessbookstore.com to see them all, read excerpts by the athletes, and purchase this book.
