Kyle Mackie is a freelance photojournalist in his last semester at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism who is working on a portrait series of female-identifying and LGBTQ veterans in New York City. The portraits will be shot between Nov. 27 – Dec. 8 in the j-school studio, located at 219 West 40th Street.

He asks each veteran to bring with them an item that represents or reminds them of their service, and will conduct a brief phone interview prior to the shoot. In exchange for your time, you will receive your finished portraits after publication.

If you’re interested in learning more or signing up, please don’t hesitate to reach out at kyle.mackie@journalism.cuny.edu. To see more of his work, you are welcome to check him out on Instagram (@kylesmackie).

Thank you for your service!
