"I love the fact I can capture some important moments with any photographic tool and make the photos feel timeless no matter what equipment I use. Photographs are the tools that allow us to travel in time."
The entire session was shot on FaceTime between Venice, Italy and Los Angeles, California when in quarantine. I met Dera and Anji a few years ago when I had a chance to capture their surprise marriage proposal in Italy. We haven’t met ever since but we became friends and stayed in touch. They are happily married by now and when both me and them were quarantining earlier this year I came up with an idea of capturing them in their new apartment in LA over a video call. Few years later, their feelings are just as strong – it’s a never ending proclamation to love. Here’s to Dera & Anji and all the queer couples fighting for their love and happiness in today’s world.
