Freedom to shine

The LGBT flag also known as the rainbow flag, the colours are
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Purple

Worlds best known rainbow flag is sometimes called the freedom flag, symbol of LGBT pride and diversity. Designed by Gilbert Baker in 1978, who was a San Francisco artist.
In many places people of the LGBT community still can't have a marriage I decided to do my images focused on this. I used inspiration from the rainbow flag, I also used the colours from the flag in all of my images.
I called these images 'Freedom to shine' because everyone should have the freedom to marry, the flag is sometimes called the 'freedom flag' and also you shine on your wedding day.
The three images could tell a story....




Showing the past -  A person dwelling on the fact that she can't marry her girlfriend while holding her mother's old wedding headpiece.
In this image the colours from the flag are in the nails.
I think that the idea that I had in my head worked out better than it actually did.

 Getting ready for the wedding day.
In this image the colours from the flag are in the different colour flower petals. I think that this is my strongest image.















and showing the future - The marriage as candles can represent Christianity.
In this image the colours from the flag are the candles.

I think this image would have been better in low key with the candles lit and if I had straighten the candles.
