In this episode, Fran Gomez, Spanish-born fashion and portrait photographer, opens up about growing up queer in Andalusia, navigating repression in a Catholic family, and building a creative career after moving to London.
Fran shares how working in an iconic gay bar became the unexpected stepping stone to shooting for major fashion brands and creating powerful portraits that uplift underrepresented communities. We talk about mental health, capitalism’s impact on creativity, and the pressures of youth and beauty within the LGBTQ+ community.
Fran reflects on photographing tender moments, including an emotional portrait of his mother during her battle with cancer, and the importance of intergenerational connections in queer spaces. His story is one of resilience, authenticity, and choosing a life that values creativity and humanity over hustle culture.
