PEOPLE & LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY Jun 2014

Braden Summers is an illustrative portraiture photographer. His work intends to inspire his audience with his unique interpretation of beauty, allowing the viewer to question what they consider beautiful in their respective environments. His latest project, '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 idealisation 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, victimisation, 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."
