As a gay man, Summers was tired of the LGBT community being represented as either hyper-sexualized or victimized. So he set out to create beautiful and simply romantic pictures of only gay couples.

Kickstarter helped him raise over $23K and travel to France, India, Lebanon, Brazil, South Africa, and the U.K.

“When thinking of iconic romance, ask yourself if any imagery comes to mind that is not showing heterosexual couples? Probably not.”

“I would like to use this work as a platform to discuss why that is and how to change it.”
