Show the world how beautiful the love of LGBT couples can be, how sexy gender bending can be, and the strength of transitioning, though photos.
As a photographer, I pride myself on making people think when they look at my images. I am a LGBTQ activist and want to break down stereotypes and judgments by showing the world how beautiful the love betweenGLBTQ couples can be, I want to show the strength and courage that it takes to transition and I want to show how sexy bluring the lines of the gender binary can be.
The money will be used to purchase lighting equipment and to cover print costs, mattes and frames. The more money I can raise, the larger I can make my collection and the more I can spread this campaign of acceptance.
I will be creating three separate gallery shows.
"Love is Love" - Showcasing gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and queer couples as the loving entities that they are. Each and every couple is different. Some couples are stoic and serious, some are adoring and playful, some have children and families, some are career driven. I want to showcase the unique dynamic within each coupling to make people see how beautiful our loves can be. 25% of proceeds from this show will be donated to help Stand Up Florida fight for GLBTA (A- straight ally) rights.
“A Femme’s Perspective” – I want to showcase just how sexy gender bending can be, from a femme’s point of view, of course. The sexuality of butches, genderqueers, studs and FtM’s is highly underrated, I want the whole world to see them as I do.
“Transitioning” – I want to showcase the strength and courage that it takes to transition from male to female, or from female to male. 25% of proceeds from this show will be donated to a group that helps transgendered persons, at the moment I have not yet decided which organization I will be working with .
