The editorial „Identities“ by German fashion editors and stylists Christina Sommerfeldt & Nina-Marie Korsch in cooperation with photographer Maximilian Schwarz shows photographs regarding the topic of authentic lived diversity or as they like to call it – human empowerment. The shooting is dedicated to identity and critically questions traditional gender identities as well as heteronormativity.
gender. no gender. human. A KALTBLUT exclusive.
“Every person should be free to discover, develop and live out his/her/their identity and sexual orientation. it should not matter which gender you feel you belong to and which pronouns you identify with. unfortunately, the reality is different. With our shooting “Identities” we plead for unconditional tolerance and respectful interaction with each other. we thus actively speak out against prejudice, discrimination and exclusion.”
your identity is not necessarily defined by your biological sex.
your identity is not necessarily defined by your cultural background.
your identity is not necessarily defined by your social background.
you define your identity.
not society.
