About Positive Exposure
Founded by award-winning photographer Rick Guidotti in New York City, Positive Exposure has transformed into a global movement, celebrating the beauty and richness of human diversity.
For more than 25 years, Positive Exposure has operated as a 501(c)(3), building a more equitable, compassionate world for individuals and communities at risk of stigma and exclusion. We all share the same need: The need to be seen. The need to be heard. The need to belong.
At Positive Exposure, we create spaces rooted in unity, respect, and inclusion through photography, film, educational programs, and advocacy at our gallery in New York City and around the globe.
