GRACE CHU
A cutting-edge New York City photographer who specializes in event photography, Grace Chu (pictured right, next to girlfriend Nicole Hoschuetzky) started out shooting LGBTQ nightlife for AfterEllen.com, and her client list increased exponentially from there. Since that time, she’s shot compelling images for corporate clients such as Alexander Wang and General Motors. Chu has also shot the runway at New York Fashion Week. Meanwhile, her work has appeared in Time Out New York, Vogue, The Huffington Post, Vice, GO Magazine and others. She’s also a successful writer and journalist with an impressive array of clips in many of those publications, in addition to Jezebel and AfterElton.com. Chu has been the official photographer for some of the hottest, most high-profile and avant-garde nightlife parties, fashion shows, celebrity red carpets and other events in NYC, particularly those in the LGBTQ and queer communities. As her website (stop-gracechu.com) jokingly puts it: “Grace Chu is everywhere, and she needs to be stopped.” To the very same community she immortalizes in photographs (us!), Chu sends the following message: “Love yourselves—and live large and in charge!” –SLO
