Where Love Is Illegal is a book of 80 large-format portraits of LGBTQI+ people from around the world, accompanied by handwritten testimonies. Each photograph is paired with text edited from personal testimonies written by those featured and from interviews conducted by the photographer Robin Hammond. As Elton John writes, the images tell a story of struggle and survival, of resilience and empathy, of discrimination and the advocacy needed to overcome it — showing people who seek only to live honestly, openly, with dignity and without fear. A recurring gesture runs through the series: fingers masking the eyes and mouth, lovers covering each other, fabric disguising the face — an attempt to erase the features that make us individuals.
