Changing the Lens, also known as the CTL Collective, was
launched in 2021 after an instance of discrimination went viral
in 2020 when two brides were told that the company wouldn’t
“work with homosexual couples”. Founder, Amber (she/they) of
Honey & Lux Photography, noted that “wedding vendors were
addressing it, throwing up statements and rainbow emojis
in their bios & websites, making sure it was known that they
were accepting of all love. Some of them admitted that they had
never had an opportunity to work with 2SLGBTQ+ couples, so
they don’t necessarily have any portfolio content to reflect their
standpoint.”
Terminology: 2SLGBTQ+ is an acronym that means two-spirit,
lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer/questioning. The
plus sign means other sexual identities including pansexual.
The idea for CTL Collective, Amber says, “was to create some
beautiful styled shoots so photographers could capture real
queer love for their portfolio. And, more importantly, to engage
in conversations lead by folks who identify as part of these
communities. As this project gained more attention, Theresa
of Autumn Artistry Makeup and Hair, a queer & Black wedding
vendor has come onboard as we continue this work. We want
vendors to learn how to build a practice where folks not only
feel welcome, but understood, safe & celebrated”. They also
want to educate vendors on “how to reduce harm” as well as
language to use or not use and other consent & safety pieces”.
