When Hugh Nini and Neal Treadwell discovered an old photograph of two men in love at an antique store in Dallas, Texas, 25 years ago, they had no idea how profoundly it would change their lives — and illuminate a hidden history.
That single image sparked a global journey, taking them across the United States, Canada, Europe, the UK, Australia and Asia in search of photographs capturing men in love.
Guided by what they call “the unmistakable look” of love, Nini and Treadwell assembled more than 4,000 images of male couples taken between the 1850s and 1950s — quiet, tender portraits of connection that defied convention and were often kept hidden.
LOVING brings to light the lives and stories of male couples from around the world, reminding us that love transcends time, borders, and circumstance.
