Hot! In Gender Roles

Christine from The Way We Were

The Way We Were series investigates and confronts some of the cultural and social stereotypes underlying gender, opting to focus on the beauty, sensitivity and vulnerabilities found in the transgender community. These portraits are rooted in documentary reality, yet formally rigorous and conceptually self-conscious. They were taken in informal circumstances and with natural light by imposing a strict seriality and a formal classicism in the captured images with unexpected and provocative sequences that could refer to gender and sexual diversity.

In the Diversity/Adversity photo essay.
