Senior Voices within the LGBTQ+ Community

The generation of people in the UK who identify as LGBTQ+ and were born before 1967 are the first to experience life before and after the decriminalisation of homosexuality. Popular narratives inclusive of the LGBTQ+ community, however, tend to focus on youth. Seniors within the community are left out of conversations about love, life, and activism. Growing older entails some major life changes, and when entwined with this rich history they create unique stories that are under‑explored and deserve to be shared.

Award‑winning photographer Trisha Ward and I worked together to create a series of portraits that are honest, natural, and that celebrate the individuals that make up this community.  The Series was photographed for Getty Images. Each person was interviewed to gain a perspective on their life experiences and provide an opportunity for their voices to be heard.: published on Creative Insights
