I am the photographer behind this image. What began as a photo shoot to explore drag and masculine identity with my non-binary friend, ultimately evolved into a celebration - showcasing their love with their new partner. They had become an official couple the evening prior, and I simply needed a shot of the two of them together. Their affection for one another was palpable.
