# LGBT Prom Photography This LGBT Prom Photo Series is Poignant and Touching By Farida Helmy | Published 2014-07-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lgbt-prom-photo-series References: [featureshoot](http://www.featureshoot.com/2014/07/portrait-project-captures-spirit-lgbt-youth-prom/) & [zoeperrywood](http://www.zoeperrywood.com) Prom is one of the most important night of any youth's life because it symbolizes the end of school and the beginning of life as a young adult, so it is only fitting that all youth have a chance to show who they truly are as this LGBT prom photo series beautifully portrays. Unfortunately, not all youth get that chance because there are some schools that have non-progressive attitudes towards gender and sexuality and enforce strict policies on these kids in their own high school proms. However, The [Boston Alliance of Gay Lesbian Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trulyou) (BAGLY) holds an annual prom every year for [young LGBT students](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2slgbtqi-community) who are forced to feel like outsiders and give them the special night they deserve. Captured by photographer Zoe Perry-Wood, the LGBT prom photo series is poignant and touching. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Inclusive Youth Events:** Creating more safe spaces for LGBT youth to celebrate important milestones could lead to new business and service opportunities. - **LGBT Event Photography:** Professional photography services that specialize in capturing LGBT events in an authentic and respectful way may be in high demand. - **Advocacy Through Imagery:** There is an opportunity for photographers and companies to leverage visual content as a tool to advocate for and raise awareness of LGBT issues. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** The field of photography could expand to include more diversity and inclusivity in their range of services. - **Event Planning:** Businesses that specialize in planning and hosting inclusive events for marginalized communities may have a unique niche in the market. - **Nonprofits:** Organizations that focus on advocating for LGBT youth and supporting safe spaces, such as BAGLY, could receive increased attention and support. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Senior-Friendly Pride Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seniorfriendly-pride.md) - [Pride-Celebrating Skincare Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-pride-campaign.md) - [Pride-Inspired Stamp Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/places-of-pride.md) - [Multi-Functional LGBTQ+ Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lgbtq-center.md) - [Youth-Focused Mentorship Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/career-accelerator.md) - [Playful Pride-Inspired Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prideinspired-candle.md) - [Fitness Club Pride Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benefit-auction.md) - [Inclusive LGBTQ+ Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inclusive-lgbtq-event.md) - [LGBTQ Artist Candy Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skittles-pride.md)
