Slide Show: Scenes from Seattle’s NOH8 Photo Shoot
Strike a pose The NOH8 guys were in town yesterday clicking away like paparazzi at the W Hotel. Photos by Douglas Bair.
Models lined up to get a number, then waited their turn to go in front of the camera…like at the DMV. But classier.
The only rule: You have to wear a white top. Though models have been known to go naked for this campaign.
As part of the silent protest to Prop 8, models wear duct tape over their mouths.
A family affair Bill French and Paul Gott posed with their 10-month-old daughter Audrey. Washington is one of a handful of states where same-sex couples can adopt.
Hugs for all At the end of every shoot, which was anywhere from 5-10 frames per person, NOH8 cofounder and photographer Adam Bouska hugged the model.
Behind the lens Adam Bouska has photographed thousands in the LGBT community and supporters across the country, including celebrities Jane Lynch, Michael Emerson, and Cindy McCain.
Drinks and Friends Before (and after) the shoot, models could sip martinis and mingle.
Everyone caught paparazzi fever; many posed for their own photo shoots in the lounge.
Activists in action It was a great turnout for the shoot, with a line that never got short and a lounge filled with white T-shirts….and makeup.
Anything but a drag Credit the high energy of the crowd to models like Sister Stella Standing.
Everybody loves merch.
