“Hi, I'm Wolf of Bad Wolf Photography. We live in a world where
everything is filmed, photographed or otherwise recorded and
posted on social media. Whether for better or worse we are all
influenced by what we see on these platforms and in other media.
Unfortunately with growing far right groups in many countries, the
ever increasing instances of these groups, governments and so
called "news" outlets stoking this hate and division, using
evocative imagery to promote, hate, fear and confusion. Using
images for there shock value to get the readers attention. We still
have new generations of lgbtq+, women and kinksters growing up
in fear, fearful of rejection, hate or worse. With our rights being
attacked around the world, both legally and often physically.
enough is enough!
It is now more important than ever to take control and show the
world how we chose to represent ourselves, to show the world
that we are a loving, inclusive community of beautiful people and
not just the sensational headline or the shocking imagery that the
media want us to be. To show those just discovering themselves
and those that have been out for a while that they should be
proud! That they are loved and accepted and, that their
community is there for them. This is why I do what I do. I use my
art to try and show the community how beautiful they are and to
show the wider world that we are beautiful, that we simply want to
be loved and accepted the same way we love and accept our,
friends, family and allies in the wider world. Let us leave the hate
and the hurt in the past where it belongs and focus on building the
best world we can for the future, for everyone.”
