Photographer Kyle Stansbury is currently working on a powerful long-term series with The Arc of Western Montana, capturing the everyday brilliance and individuality of people with intellectual and developmental differences. Through honest, candid moments, Kyle introduces us to community members like Rob: athletes full of personality, warmth, and strength. The project, based in Missoula, Montana, is more than a portrait series; it’s a growing exploration of connection, representation, and the deep value of seeing people for who they truly are. With each session, Kyle continues to learn, adapt, and honor the people he photographs, meeting them where they are and letting their stories lead the way.
