A new shoot! I know right, I'm shocked myself, but
it was damn long over due, and it felt great to take photos
again!
With June being Pride month, I wanted this shoot to represent
my pride in not just my sexuality, but also personally. Taking
direct inspiration from the 'Rosie the Riveter' poster, which was
initially created to boost worker morale in 1943, this iconic photo
went on to represent feminism in the 80's as well as other political
issues at the time.
For me, and I believe for many of my gay peers, this
represents so much of our culture as well, and although
this probably had nothing to do with gay rights, personally this
represents our continuous battle for acceptance, for equality.
That we will always fight for what we believe in, for what
we are proud of.
And so, this is my take on this iconic piece of history:
