Celebrating rainbow families in Singapore ?️????️⚧️
The Rainbow Families photoshoot aims to showcase queer families in Singapore — whether birth families or chosen families.
Each family portrait celebrates an LGBTQ+ family, a family that embraces their queer member(s), or a queer person’s chosen family (friends & loved ones). We recognise diverse families and invite you and your family to be a part of this project!
Photos will be released on social media (@rainbowfamilies.sg) from end June onwards (you can opt out of this during the checkout flow if you wish for your photos to stay private). This is our second year conducting this photoshoot (check out last year's family portraits)!
Photoshoot details
Get your family portrait taken by a professional photographer! We use a long exposure technique to create a special rainbow effect that shifts and flows around the subjects. Participants can play around with this effect and even make light paintings with their phone's torchlight! ??
Pay any amount you wish (recommended $50 per family); the proceeds collected will go towards funding our LGBTQ+ exhibition, which happens from 2-11 June at Projector X: Picturehouse. Rainbow Families is a not for profit group.
If you wish to contribute to our project without booking a photoshoot, you may do so on our Kofi page!
Photoshoot time slots
The photoshoot will happen on 17 & 18 June 2023 (Saturday & Sunday), from 9am to 8pm. We have time slots for every hour that we're open, and up to 4 groups can book each hourly slot!
We strongly encourage you to arrive at the start of your time slot, e.g. if you book the 10am-11am slot, please arrive by 10am!
Photoshoot duration
Each photoshoot will take about 10 minutes.
Digital photos
You'll get digital copies of your family photos after the photoshoot (1-2 weeks later).
Printed photos
Groups that contribute $50 and above will get a photo of their choice printed for free on the spot for each attendee, so that everyone in your group can keep a memento! The printed photos will be name card sized, which is great for keeping in your wallet :)
Group size
We welcome groups 2 people and above (no upper limit)! Come with your family or chosen family, partner, or a mix of both! Pets are also welcome if well-behaved and not susceptible to flashes of light.
Terms
By signing up, you understand that your photo(s) may be shared publicly on social media based on the preference you indicated during the checkout process.
You may use the photo(s) taken during this photoshoot for any personal use, but not for commercial purposes. For instance, you can share the photo on social media (tag us @rainbowfamilies.sg!), but you can't sell the photo for a profit or use it as the cover image for your album (if you're releasing one ??).
