Yeah this is the kind of thing I’m talking about. As an artist you want to show something new, startling. I get that. But when it comes to my self image as a tran I find not appearing a freak is an uphill struggle as is. There’s a longing to be normal.
this is a creative difference I find myself having with photographers sometimes; they want me to be the subject of these edgy, angular portraits of A Trans Person, while I want a soft-lit glamour shoot of the 5'2 biogirl I truly am inside.https://twitter.com/VioletChachki/status/1138123650526171143 …

There's a very dark vein of "hey look at these weirdos" with some photographers :( Taking marginalized people and putting them in a very literal unsympathetic light and pretending it's interesting or insightful.

This! I am a photographer that always takes in consideration the type of way that my model wants to be seen and I *hate* edgy angular hard lit photos of A Trans Person. My portraits of trans women are really no different from the ones I make of cis women.

Believe me, having your picture taken when you're five-foot-nothing is not fun either, it always looks like the lens is hella distorted or like you're in 5th grade.
