I have created a number of portraits for my photography exhibition
“Kissing without Prejudice”.

The exhibition will raise public awareness, provide a platform to celebrate our strength and diversity and breakdown some of the major barriers that surrounds HIV and the LGBT community.

Stigma and discrimination relating to who we love, how we look, or who we are, are the biggest barriers that face our community, and why many people are still afraid to live their lives openly and with pride.

So what better day than World AIDS Day to challenge these negative attitudes

I challenge you to Pucker up with pride, express your sexuality and Kiss without Prejudice!

Your image will be projected in Manchester and Liverpool simultaneously on 1st Dec 2010.
