This Powerful Photo Story About Two Women in Forbidden Love Will Break Your Heart
Once you experience 28-year-old photographer Arjun Kamath's photo story, entitled 'Coming Out,' odds are it will stay with you for a while. This beautiful, emotional, and utterly chilling piece is sweeping social media and leaving many feeling appropriately unsettled by its disturbing conclusion. In 30 photos, Kamath and the women portraying the story's tragic young couple bring to life the anxious uncertainty of coming out of the closet, the pure joy of experiencing true love, and the brutal suffering that comes when the people around them see their love as a sin. As for why he chose this subject matter, Kamath explained to BuzzFeed India that, 'although young Indians face several issues, the one that resonated with him most was that of someone coming out of the closet.' Kamath stated, "I’ve not tried to preach. People have shown very positive reactions to the series, and have really appreciated it. If I could change just one person’s life, then that’s enough for me.” You can preview the images here, and then definitely make sure to check out the entire story on Kamath's Facebook page.
