To the couple on the downtown A train that looked so cute together
This series celebrates and commemorates interracial couples.
How'd you meet? Was it love or lust at first sight? How do you define love? What's your partner's love language? What's one thing you've learned from each other?

I invite interracial couples to share their stories. Each couple will be photographed together (editorial shoot) and interviewed about their relationship (video).
Couples may also be multi-ethnic but should present visually as interracial.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Each couple will arrive at their selected time. During the interview, you're free to share as much or as little as you'd like about your relationship -- whatever you're comfortable revealing. You will be asked a few questions to get the conversation started. Your answers will determine the direction the interview takes. The creative direction of the photo shoot will be editorial with the goal of capturing the bond between two individuals. Shoots last approximately 45 minutes.
Photos and videos will be featured on the website and social media.
RELATIONSHIP CRITERIA:
Couples at any stage of their relationship are welcome to participate. MF (male-female), MM, FF, Trans couples, non-binary, queer -- all relationship orientations are welcome. If you're in a poly relationship only 2 people will be allowed. For May-December relationships, the youngest person in the couple must be at least 21 years old. Each person will have to sign a model release.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE:
Each couple will participate in a 15 minute photo shoot and 15 minute interview. A week to 10 days after the shoot you will receive 3-5 edited photos via email. Your video interview will be sent to you 3 - 4 weeks later.
DRESS CODE:
The only request is that the couples dress alike. Same color top and bottom. Ex. YOU: crew neck yellow tee, blue jeans, black sneakers. PARTNER: yellow V-neck tee, blue jeans and black boots. The outfits should be as similar as possible. Accessories are allowed. If you want to go full-blown identical twins, have fun with it!
REGISTRATION FEE:
$60 per couple
