Michael Key

Washington, D.C.

I am the photo editor at the Washington Blade. I manage the photography department and serve as the newspaper's main political photographer - working on Capitol Hill, in the White House and along the campaign trail.

I have taken photos that have appeared in numerous publications nation-wide and in Europe.

In my spare time, I direct and produce music videos, some shown on national television, others on YouTube.

I am a member of the U.S. Senate Press Photographers Gallery and am a board member of the D.C. Chapter of the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association.

I was born and raised in Ada, OK in the Chickasaw Nation.
