A Calcutta based fashion photographer, Amit Dey, has challenged the stigma of being a member of the LGBT community in India in a stunning series of photos.
The photoshoot entitled 'To His Coy Mistress' features a groom who fulfills his social obligations by getting married to a woman, but also depicts the groom being drawn sexually towards another man.
Amit, who is also bisexual, said, "I wanted to make a point about love having no bar on gender. It just happens and we cannot predict how or when it does."
