Pride Project is a compelling art exhibition that strikes a balance between storytelling and artistry from photographer Lauren Crooke. The cinematic images are a communal narrative, and profound exploration of the LGBTQIA+ community’s experiences and often untold stories of adversity.
Each piece inspired by real-life accounts submitted by members of the community which Crooke has carefully translated into visual form, using lighting donated by major sponsor, Team Digital, and special effects equipment to direct dramatic scenes that evoke significant narrative and atmosphere. Crooke’s works extends beyond documentation; a photographer with an eye for narratives that resonate and connect, Pride Project encourages an intimate dialogue with the viewer, turning spectators into participants.
