Candid Pride Portraits

Molly Landreth Gives the LGBT Community a Voice Through Her Images

— July 6, 2011 — Fashion
This stunning series of images by Molly Landreth abolishes stereotypes.

Seattle-based Molly Landreth has been praised internationally for this collection of captures entitled 'Embodiment: A Portrait of Queer Life in America.' The collection is comprised of several images, all which contain subjects who are part of the LGBT community. Molly recognized that often, these citizens are stereotyped within their own communities, and chose to portray their real personalities. The portraits show happy couples not hindered by their genders in their home settings; these settings really reflect the personalities of each subject.

This series by Molly Landreth proves that love has no restrictions.
