Straight celebrities pose as same-sex couples to show the world that love is love -

Written by: Jamie

Artist Olivier Ciappa reached out to straight celebrities, including Eva Longoria, and asked them to use their star power to provide support and awareness for the LGBT community. After first posting, Olivier received a 48 hour suspension from Facebook and all of the photos were removed due to the number of reports facebook received. This series has been shown in galleries across Europe and will be coming to the US this summer.

The celebrities that I shot are heterosexual, but it was essential to me that you would believe these imaginary couples and families they portray were real. If you couldn’t identify with their love and feel it was real, then I would have failed. And to show that love is love, no matter who [is involved], the exhibition also features real gay families, straight ones, single parents, disabled, people of different skin colors and origins, different religion, young couples, old ones… All of these pictures, imaginary or real, have the same glamorous and warm monochrome style that makes them look not only appealing but timeless.”
