Chance Leon Allen (b. 2000 Orlando, FL) is a Los Angeles based photographer, writer, and creative director. He obtained his BA in Journalism and Media Studies at Mercer University in May 2022. With his work, he seeks to educate and inform the masses on the intricacies of his two main identities: his queerness and his blackness. 

His portraiture explores themes of individuality, love, heartbreak, joy, loneliness, isolation, liberation and everything in between. Ultimately, his images and words are a gesture to look inward even in the darkest hour, with hope that people (especially queer black men and queer men of color) can use him as a vessel to move forward in existence peacefully, with tenderness. ‘

On the other hand, he documents his day to day life and special moments to remember life in all its glory!
