Urban Legends
“Urban Legends” gay photo series
This quote was my biggest inspiration for creation of “Urban Legends” gay photo series: “In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it.”

Gay photo series “Urban Legend” idea came as a colorful beautification of post-punk figure with decay backgrounds. By no means this is a new idea for LGBTQ photo art. But Dmitriy made a step forward turning the decay scene to magical surreal realms which serve as backcloths for fervent spectacle. You can enjoy a limited selection from Dmitriy Gushchin’s “Urban Legend” gay photo series here.
Although many of gay photo images created by Dmitriy Gushchin are banned by Instagram and some other social platforms as “containing nudity”, LGBTQ photo artist believes that it is just the latest Instagram anti-LGBTQ campaign we all have to fight against together. Gay photo artist never thought that “Obscure Dream Liberation” will be a beginning of “Instagram nightmare” series. Dmitriy’s LGBTQ photo art Instagram account is “shadow blocked” at the moment and appears to be private for non-subscribers. Please fight for LGBTQ rights and freedom of expression by subscribing to follow accounts like Dmitriy’s. He not alone! You can check the article from the link below.
