'Kings & Queens in Their Castles' has been called the most ambitious photo series ever conducted of the LGBTQ experience in the U.S. Over a span of 15 years, Atwood photographed more than 350 subjects at home nationwide, including nearly 100 celebrities. With individuals from 30 states, Atwood offers a window into the lives and homes of some of America's most intriguing and eccentric personalities. Among those depicted are Meredith Baxter, Alan Cumming, Don Lemon, John Waters, George Takei, Alison Bechdel, Barney Frank, Don Bachardy, Billy Porter, Ari Shapiro, Arthur Tress, Michael Urie, Greg Louganis, Tommy Tune, Jonathan Adler, and Terrence McNally. Modern day tableaux vivants, the images portray whimsical, intimate moments of daily life that shift between the pictorial and the theatrical. Rich in beauty and clarity, these personal landscapes are both a witness and a celebration.

Tom Atwood has photographed over 100 luminaries such as Hilary Swank, Buzz Aldrin, and John Waters. He won Photographer of the Year from London’s Worldwide Photography Gala Awards, first place in Portraiture in the Prix de la Photographie Paris and has won over 30 other awards. Atwood’s work has been exhibited at the Museum of Photographic Arts, the George Eastman Museum, the Center for Fine Art Photography, and at galleries including ClampArt, Steven Kasher, Louis Stern, and PDNB. Atwood’s work has been featured in over 150 publications, including the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The New Yorker, Art Newspaper, Elle, and PDN.
