About Me

Lover of Life, Love & Sensuality. Optimist. Believer. Natural Beauty Advocate. Minimalist. Living life outside the box; where the magic happens.

I myself have fallen in love with women in my life (yes, I am a woman). Many of my friends are in relationships with someone of the same sex; And I know that some of them are still having a hard time finding acceptance amongst their friends and/or family. Same-Sex Love has still not received the acceptance it needs. Love is love is love. It is equal.

Braden Summer, a New York based photographer who is gay himself, was fed up with the love stereo-types produced by media and the ones-sided conceptions of the majority of society about same-sex couples. He traveled the world to capture gay couples in 6 different countries. Here are the results. (Read the interview about his journey at the end of this article.)

#13 This Is Unbelievably Beautiful: My Absolute Favorite Picture

In an Interview with BuzzFeed the photographer said:

I shot my first gay-centric romantic photo in London with two men, an umbrella, and an iconic bridge. It made me think a lot about iconic romance in general and how all of the images that came to mind were of straight couples – real or fabricated.Gay imagery tends to be hyper-sexual, or banal images of everyday couples, or worse yet depictions of our victimization. I wanted to create a whole series using my London image as a benchmark.So, I raised over $23K set out with a producer friend of mine to Paris, India, Lebanon, South Africa, Brazil, and the US to shoot the project over a 6 week period.The images are not documentations of reality, but illustrations using models and real-life couples to help my viewers dream about having that type of romance.The work is meant to speak to a large audience, it should be reminiscent of the highly-produced romance images that we are fed on a daily basis.

I am a proud ambassador of his work. Which is your favorite picture?

Much love, Adina
