What we’re looking for
The theme of this shoot is a park date! Featuring disabled BIPOC queers being sweet and coupley.
We want to capture you as you are, modeling your own mobility aids if you’ve got them, working those accessibility / chronic pain life hacks, and just being your fantastic relationshippy selves amongst nature and the outdoors.
We ask that you:
- send in a joint application as a disabled BIPOC LGBTQIA+ couple
- be at least 18 years old
- live around the Portland, Oregon metro area
- are available to travel onsite for the photo shoot (the interview can be done remotely)
And by ”disabled,“ we mean...
Invisible disabilities, chronic illnesses, mental illnesses, and self-diagnoses are all valid. Disability is a wide spectrum and people experience it in various forms!
