how beautiful you are

dedicated to those who dare to love...

After a whole month of hard work searching for photographic subjects for this project, I have finally managed to pull this off! Big thank you to all those who had participated and had taken the time to come down to share your stories with me. Thank you all for your supportive emails even though you did not participate in the end - it means a lot to me.

A shout out to Gay SG Confessions, Lesbian SG Confessions and Pink Dot Singapore for helping me search for the couples! Without them, this project wouldn't be possible at all!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

I hope my humble work will be able to spread and expand the notion of love and its beauty, and to raise awareness on equality. I will definitely continue expanding this project in the near future so stay tuned!!

Seeking gay/lesbian couples as photographic subjects

LAST CALL!!

Dear LGBT community of Singapore,

I am Broy Lim, a Year 1 Art, Design and Media student from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and I am embarking on a project exploring the beauty of the different kinds of love - be it gay or straight. I would like to find 6 couples (3 gay and 3 lesbian couples) who don't mind sharing their stories with me, as well as having their photos taken by me.

My project is a publication project. In which, I will be featuring a series of 9 cards with couples' portraits gracing the covers. Inside these cards will be short stories and little notes, written by the couples, about what they see is beautiful about each other and their relationship. The aim of the project is to explore the notion of equality, love and the beauty of love.

Please note that the project is a small-scaled project and it will not be literally published to the public so your identity (if you choose so), will be kept strictly within the confines of the school environment.

Couples who volunteered to share their stories with me and have their photos taken will be receiving a copy of their own cards (your stories, your portraits) as a token of my appreciation, upon completion of this project.

If you are interested or would like to find out more, please feel free to e-mail me at broylim@gmail.com. All information will be kept confidential.

I hope to hear from you guys soon!

Edit: Shoots will be scheduled either this coming weekend ( March 30, 31) or the following weekend (April 5, 6, 7). Volunteers, please pick your weekend and I will see how we can work out a schedule. Thank you.
