ALL LOVE IS EQUAL is a photographic series that challenges the
social construct of “iconic romance.” It is meant to call attention
to the lack of commercial imagery that focuses on the
idealization of same-sex couples. A large driving force behind
creating this series was actually less about affecting the gay
community directly, and more about giving the general
population a way to relate to gay imagery which is devoid of
sex, victimization, or banality - themes that might usually
prevent some folks from connecting. The photographs are not
documentations, they are dreamy illustrations of what open
expressions of love in different cultures *could* look like in a
future, more accepting time.
