Francois-Marie Banier: Battlefields

Gay Pride marches in Brussels, London, New York, Paris and Rome

In these images, taken between 1994 and 2018, Banier (born 1947) not only captures the full glamorous spectrum of those parading--all the feathers, sequins and leather--but also, more importantly, the characters beneath the makeup and wigs.

Gay Pride marcheaza la Bruxelles, Londra, New York, Paris si Roma In aceste imagini, realizate intre 1994 si 2018, Banier (nascut in 1947) nu doar surprinde spectrul plin de farmec al celor care defileaza - toate penele, paietele si pielea - dar de asemenea, mai important, personajele de sub machiaj si peruci.
