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.
