Skip the directory roulette. This is the running list of queer-owned and queer-approved photographers, designers, and media makers that 10th Muses members actually hire — the people who show up, get the brief, and don’t need queerness explained to them. Built by the community, for the community, across NYC and LA.
Talent is table stakes. What earns a spot here is someone who’s actually worked with queer, trans, and nonbinary clients and events — not just claimed the label. Portfolio, responsiveness, and a real trail of happy repeat clients decide who stays on the list.
Below: the names members keep passing to each other in group chats, DMs, and post-event debriefs — now in one place instead of scattered across a hundred threads. Sorted by specialty, updated as the community’s picks change.
Every listing starts as a real member recommendation — never a paid placement, never a cold pitch. We check in on actual experiences before it goes up, and pull anything that stops holding up. This is a living list, not a static ad page.
Talent shows up everywhere from Bushwick to Silver Lake. The breakdown below covers Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the rest of NYC alongside the Los Angeles creative scene, so you can find someone worth the trip — or someone five minutes away.
