free photoshoots for lgbtqi+ couples

Pissed off about the hate surrounding the marriage equality postal survey thingy? You’re not alone. Nicola, a photographer at Fox & Kin, thought that it was way out of line – so she did something about it. She decided to flood the internet with snaps of LGBTQI+ folks in love. And, in a heartwarming turn of events, a whole bunch of other professional shutterbugs around Australia decided to do the same. They’re offering free – yep, totally free – mini-shoots for LGBTQI+ couples until same-sex marriage is rightfully, legally recognised in Australia. Search for #rainbowloveau on Instagram to see some of the photos already out there, and scroll down to see participating photographers near you.
