Nine years after producing the controversial photo exhibition, Ecce Homo, internationally acclaimed Swedish photographer Elisabeth Ohlson Wallin started working on a new photography project, based on true stories of hate crimes against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

In hate we trust is a series of photographs that depicts hate crimes against the LGBT population worldwide through artistic reconstruction of real-life events. “The exhibition is still growing. It started with eight photos and now there are fifteen, their style inspired by Caravaggio,” says Wallin. “This is about hatred against LGBT people, specially from the religious quarters. I wanted to show that the church has blood in its hand.”
