Andrew Tess | Polaroid PRIDE Project

by Chloe Cussen

For the third year in a row, photographer Andrew Tess continued his PRIDE project where he creates a montage of Polaroid portraits of members of the LGBTQIA+ community. He took 30 individuals portraits and had each person write words about Pride and how it plays a role in their lives.

Andrew Tess created this project in the hopes of connecting to others in the queer community and encouraging people to be proud of their identity. Participants of this project included Yung Merlot, Nicola Formichetti, Cody Silver, Raul Lopez, and Brock Colyar.
