HOLLY REVELL She/her:
Holly Revell is an artist photographer and documenter of performance who has a keen eye for preserving and collaborating with queer artists, making images and portraits which explore performance and transforming identities.
Holly said: "I'm always up for Ginger's harebrained ideas! I sounded out some of my pals and they were all really appreciative of the idea finding it would uplift them during this period of isolation. I think it's really important to mark Pride whatever the circumstances and this project felt real with the participants being represented in an honest, natural and positive way. And hey who doesn't want their work on a billboard!"

Nando by Holly Revell (2020-06) by Photographer: Holly Revell and Model: NandoRaze Collective
"I decided to take part as it feels this is a crucial moment in our history. Lockdown means we are not allowed to gather but can and should protest against the fact the rights of trans people are under threat in the UK at the moment. It is also essential to say, loud and clear, through our visibility in billboards and social media, that Trans Black Lives Matter." - Nando, London
Chiyo by Holly Revell (2020-06) by Photographer: Holly Revell and Model: ChiyoRaze Collective
"As a cabaret performer, Pride is usually the busiest time of the year! You go to Queer venue after venue, parade after parade, festival after festival, to take up space and show the world how magical our existence is. This year, all those physical activities have been cancelled. So when Holly Revell, a photographer I respect and admire so deeply, approached me with this concept, I knew I wanted to be a part of something so beautiful! It’s so crucial we remind young Queer people that their existence is beautiful." - Chiyo, London
Travis by Holly Revell (2020-06) by Photographer: Holly Revell and Model: TravisRaze Collective
"So much for me about the protest in modern pride, is in the reclamation of space. Walking down streets that you were harassed in. Partying in parades past people who have once called you named. This year - we can't do that - so this feels like an exciting way to still take up space!" - Travis, London
