TITLE: Laat Me Doen

The Belgian Pride at Antwerp Pride 2019 had place Saturday 10th of August. All kind of colors, all kind of situations and where more than LGBTI+ folks are having fun under the sun and loud music. The fact is we don't have so many reasons in life to be happy, and you know what? If you like loud music and moving your butty I'm pretty sure you are more than welcome. Me, I was peeping behind the camera with my eyes wide open, trying not to move my butty and of course not thinking about going back home...

AUTHOR: Jose Javier Garcia Perez (Belgium)

My name is J.J. Garcia and Yes, I am a photographer. Based in Antwerpen (Belgium) but originally from Spain, I’ve been making photographs most of my life and I have a deep passion for photography that I would like to share with you, Why?

I try to think that in every person's life, sooner or later, there is always a time when you stop for a moment what you are doing and you start listening to a different language intimately. You are the owner of your reality but also the owner of your blurry dreams.

Here I'll use a DSLR camera or an SLR one, 35mm or 6x6 film B&W film, for sure a different language. A language not requiring words, just time.

I wish you enjoy it as I do.
