LGBTQ+ Faces of Bristol was founded in July 2020 by local Bristol photographer Karen Freer. The project aims to represent and empower the LGBTQ+ community in Bristol, by hosting photographic portraits on their website, as well as sharing across social media.
Karen’s goal from the start of this venture has been to involve queer people throughout the project to ensure diversity both in front of and behind the camera.
In 2021, I joined the project as a volunteer camera assistant, helping Karen out on shoots, taking behind the scenes images and some portraits too.
