As part of the Copenhagen Pride 2015 celebrations, Guatemalan photographer Eny Roland Hernandez debuted his project "El Poder de la Palabra" around the city. The project, supported by the Danish organization Metroselskabet Byens Hegn, consists of a series of portraits of LGBT people, taken both in Denmark and in Guatemala.
Hernandez's subjects stare directly into the camera, open and self-accepting. Living in a more tolerant society, it is more common for Danes to perceive LGBT people in this manner. In Guatemala, this is more of a challenge. However, pride is pride in any part of the world.
