Anima Animus

Anima Animus is a long term project exploring the borderline of gender. The first part of this project is a series of black and white portraits of trans* and genderqueer people living in the UK. Each model has undertaken a journey, transitioning from the sex they were assigned at birth to the gender they identify with. All portraits have been shot on film with a large format camera, taking advantage of the Scheimpflug principle to narrowly focus on the models’ eyes. This stylistic choice is a visual response to the media’s tendencies to only focus on trans* people bodies, virtually erasing their identities.
