Photographer Blake Little is recognized for a singular visual language that explores vulnerability, strength, and identity—often within LGBTQ+ communities. His portraits have captured defining figures across film, music, and art, including Tom Cruise, Samuel L. Jackson, Julianne Moore, Drew Barrymore, Dwayne Johnson, Steve Carell, Boy George, and artists David Hockney, John Baldessari, and Ed Ruscha. His photographs are exhibited and collected by museums, cultural institutions, and private collectors internationally.
Moved by the mission of the Coachella Valley Pride Hockey Association, Blake created a dedicated body of work offered pro bono for a silent auction and fundraiser benefiting CVPHA. This independent project supports the organization’s commitment to introducing hockey to the LGBTQ+ community and celebrating the sport in a safe, inclusive, and affirming environment—ensuring the game belongs to everyone. These portraits bring visibility to LGBTQ+ athletes, amplifying their presence while raising vital support for inclusive sport.
The gallery opening at V Lounge & Martini Bar promises a high-energy evening of cocktails, music, movement, and community—where art and athleticism meet under one roof. Your generous bid directly strengthens LGBTQ+ sports in America and helps expand access, representation, and opportunity.
