Jeff Sheng is a photographer who has made it his mission to tell the story of young men and women in out military who have been effected by ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ and to tell their stories Sheng did it the best way he knows how, through photography.
In a collection of photos taken across 25 states Sheng has taken close to 60 portraits of service members. A repeal of the ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy currently is making its way through Congress, with the Senate expected to vote on the measure on Tuesday. The policy has led to the discharge of more than 13,000 service members since it took effect in 1994.
A gallery exhibit of his work featuring 20 photographs is running Sept. 18 through Oct. 23 at the Kaycee Olsen Gallery in L.A. Take a look at some of Shengs portraits of our service-members and check out his show.
