The Rose Project: Portraits of the Trans Community

<p>The Rose Project is a deeply personal portrait project dedicated to the beautiful trans community. It began after a friend and collaborator of mine, Cash Askew, passed away last year. She and I created a lot of wonderful images together, and I felt compelled to continue the project.</p> <p>It&rsquo;s called the Rose Project because I often use flowers in my work, and some of my most favorite images of Cash feature her holding roses. I am photographing people from the trans community who want to be seen &mdash; I love it when I am taking photos and I see people talking and enjoying themselves. I&rsquo;ve had six photo shoots, and each of them feels very positive and therapeutic. I&rsquo;ve had people contact me from all over the world, and I would like to be able to meet and photograph them all.</p> <p>I always ask my subjects to share a quote. Below you&rsquo;ll find portraits accompanied by a few lines.</p> <p><a href="https://thebolditalic.com/the-rose-project-portraits-of-the-trans-community-94a0e1c080c2"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
