A Year of Pride is a project being done by Two-Eight Photography’s Jackie Teeple to try and show that the LGBTQ+ community is more than just a stereotype we see portrayed by the media. We are a vibrant community of humans who represent every aspect of the greater community at large. We are teachers, students, artists, creators, engineers, mathematicians, families, parents, kids, young adults, civil servants, of every shape, size, color, and form of beauty. I will be using portraits taken in front of the LGBTQ+ Pride flag of their choice, showcasing their personality, paired with a statement written by the subject. Donations are currently being accepted to help cover the day to day costs of the project (website hosting, equipment maintenance, travel costs, props, flags, etc.)
