The acceptance of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersexual people (LGBTI) has increased significantly in recent decades. However, people whose sexual orientation and gender identity do not conform to the norm are still being prosecuted in 72 countries of the world. The brutality is shocking: fines, imprisonment, torture \u2013 in some cases also the death penalty \u2013 are on the agenda of daily oppression.<\/p>\n

For several years, the internationally acclaimed photographer Robin Hammond<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 a member of the Amsterdam agency NOOR<\/em> \u2013 travelled through countries where LGBTI people are persecuted and threatened. This resulted in hundreds of portraits of people who \u2013 openly or secretly \u2013 have to defend their identity anew every day, often at risk to life and limb.<\/p>\n

Robin Hammond took his impressive portraits on Polaroid film, which gives them their own, almost surreal and dreamlike visual aesthetics. Through the shooting technique, the careful approach to its protagonists and the use of the available light, Where Love Is Illegal <\/strong>is not only an invaluable document of our time, but also demonstrates the photographer’s extraordinary ability for artistic expression.<\/p>\n

November 2014. A posed portrait of Lesbian couple ?O? (27, right) and ?D? (23, left). They were on their way home after a jazz concert, it was late by the time they got off at their subway stop. They were alone as they went up the escalator to get to the street level apart from two men in front of them. As they traveled up to street level, they took each other?s hand and kissed. They came out of the subway and starting walking home. Suddenly ?O? felt a blow to the back of her neck: ?fucking lesbians? the stranger yelled. He then turned and punched ?D? in the face. ?O? tried to defend her but was punched in the face too. ?O? screamed: ?what are you doing? We are just sisters? he replied, ?Don?t lie, I saw you kissing and you are spreading LGBT propaganda?. The remark was in reference to the ?Anti LGBT Propaganda Towards Minors? law recently adopted in Russia.
