Evan James Benally Atwood  

I am nádleehi Diné photographer and artist born to the clans Ta'neeszahnii (Tangle clan), Áshįįhi (Salt people clan), and Naakai Dine'é (Mexican clan) residing in Chinook land (portland, or). 

My work is often intimately personal, yet invites the viewer into the story to reflect and connect. Within the last year, my work has appeared in TIME magazine and Vice Broadly, and at the Smithsonian Native Cinema Showcase in New York, among others. In a way, my work grew with/from the intersection of a queer identity and honoring ancestral Indigeneity. I work passionately within the queer, indigenous feminist communities, documenting stories, and uplifting marginalized voices. 

Ultimately my work is driven by thoughtfully documenting using photography and film, with the intent to inspire others in shared communities.
