Studio Work

Usually, I prefer to shoot my photos in natural light just due to aesthetic preferences, but for this project I completed in my second year of uni, I shot photos in a studio using artificial light. These images are about gender identity in fashion and make-up - the model in these images is a transgender man dressed up in drag, which obviously challenges the stereotypes about how different genders present themselves. Traditionally, drag is something cisgender men do to appear feminine, but in this case the model is wearing drag as true self expression rather than identifying with femininity.
