‘LOUDER TOGETHER’
an exploration of black LGBTQ+ empowerment in London.
PT 1 - LONDON BALLROOM SCENE
CONCEPT. CREATIVE DIRECTION. PHOTOGRAPHY.
Born out of a sense of powerlessness when scrolling through Instagram to see people that look like me being shot in the street. That total sense of disempowerment had seeped into our being. Our sense of self. I started to look at my own position. I had worked hard to become a photographer for a great brand, but maybe I wasn’t shouting loud enough? Maybe I had more of a voice than I gave myself credit for. Like so many others in 2020, I started digging even deeper into the importance of representation and diversity in the battle against racism.
Louder Together is a series hosted by Dr. Martens, based on highlighting the inspirational people whose voices aren’t always heard. Check out the video here.
