Wandering in April is more than just traveling.
I was also doing a gay couple shoot on the way.
"LGBTQ Rainbow Image"
This is the idea that has been in my mind for a long time, this time while on the way to see the scenery, I decided to do such a thing to make the journey more meaningful.
Listen to more stories on the Internet, it is better to meet to understand the truth. I also want to take you to feel the gay love in ordinary life.
Different urban environments, different ages and personalities, different modes of getting along. In the same way, it is also a love that is warm and hopeful, such as April in the world. Of course, it will also fall into firewood, rice, oil and salt sauce and vinegar tea, in the face of quarrels and good daily trivialities. Everyone is an ordinary person, no more than who has three heads and six arms, in emotional needs are the same, but in love with the same gender and their own people.
Their feelings and beauty should also be recorded for them.
1. Soulmate, regardless of age
2. Suddenly ten years, loving you is not enough
Mo Mo & Wheat \\ Shanghai
Moma and Mads, who have been together for 10 years and got married in New Zealand in front of their families, have become iconic figures in gay circles. Live a good life, but also active voice for the community. This time to Shanghai, they took half a day out of their busy schedule to participate in my shooting.
Compared to many young gay friends, their age should be called sister, has led a family life. Wanted to truly show their state of getting along, so the shooting was about at home.
Enter the door to feel the exquisite life of magic, decoration is designed, especially comfortable. Two photo walls record the moments they experience together, full of happiness.
MEL likes to make coffee, grow flowers on the patio, and paint. Although he is in the legal profession, he feels very serious, but he also likes art and plays the guitar. Two people on the sofa singing and like the song, the dog is stable asleep, such a scene looks really quiet years.
After filming, I had the pleasure of eating a meal cooked by Jasmine. Thank you for your hospitality. Three meals for two in a house, four seasons, this is what everyone is looking forward to.
They joke that they are almost forty years old and can not keep up with the pace of young times. Accompanied by ten years, the days have also reached the stage of "old husband and wife", but their eyes are still shining with the light of love, and their infinite love for each other only increases. On the wall, they wrote a note to each other, looking at the serious wheat to write love words really like poetry, see me sweet and sour.
MEL said that in my 20s, I was bisexual. But now, I'm a lesbian, because all I see is wheat.
3. It's a tough road. Thank you for being brave
Wolf Bo & Mengmeng \\ Tianjin
I asked the Wolf to send me a picture of her and her date to communicate about makeup and clothes. When I saw the picture, my feeling was: So man? She calls herself a Wolf and her partner a cat. It's very graphic.
You were in the same class in college. Wolf Bo, a former national defense student who is now studying chemical engineering, is also the female head of the Tianjin chapter of PFLAG. The appearance of steel lives a warm and gentle heart. She sent me a novel she wrote about cats, and she also likes to do some handmade things, but it's very delicate. The cat, she's small, delicate, girl-next-door. But have the strength and courage relative to the thin body, truly face their own heart, accept the people they like, even if it is a difficult road.
"Isn't my courage and yours enough to take care of the world? I don't dare to go out and make our voice heard in the world, but with you, I dare."
Shoot at their college, snuck into their dorm. Strength joked about their clothing, grabbed a roommate to give them a simple makeup, joking that the engineering is relatively rough. The sparsely populated campus, we walked around looking for places to shoot, they will always remember the day I tossed. I also remember taking two buses for an hour to get to her school and walking around campus until my feet hurt.
postscript
As a videographer, it does not matter what the identity of the subject is, who they love and what gender. Regardless of all the strings attached, it is enough that the emotion is real. What the image has to do is to record and convey these existing loves.
"All who love deserve to be blessed."
