About Kirby Stenger

My perspective Is that everyone is beautiful. My practice is to help them feel it. To witness their power when I see them feel it and reflect it back to them in photographs. Within my 10+ years of experience as a commercial photographer, shooting fashion, lifestyle and beauty, I began to notice a shift in my focus. This shift was towards the experience of the people I was photographing. My heart, my soul, my life’s practice lies in what I have come to call Personal Project. As a femme-presenting, gender-fluid human, I have been on a lifelong journey of self actualization and self acceptance. Self acceptance is a difficult thing to embody and if I can help someone feel this in real time, in any way, help empower them to show up for themselves and feel their true power and beauty, we both win over the narratives telling us that we need to be more or less or anything other than we already are. We are enough.
