LOVE IS SCARY.
“Love is our strongest superpower, and it’s also what makes us the most vulnerable. Vulnerability is not easy, but we needn’t fear the notion so greatly that we never try to love.”
-Aseda Safoa
“LOVE IS SCARY.” is a photo concept to represent the beauty in pursuing love, even when feelings of anxiety, cynicism, and even fear rise up within. These emotions are depicted by people dressed in “frightening” costumes, interacting in subtly romantic ways to signify our fear of vulnerability is often shared, and, in reality, isn’t so scary.
