"'Beautiful Boy' is an ongoing series of photographs of
my lover. It began as a confession between friends. On the subway one evening,
my friend shared that he had worn women’s clothing almost exclusively in
college, but after graduation struggled to navigate a world that seemed both
newly accepting and yet inherently reviling of male displays of femininity. I
thought that photography could provide a space to experiment outside of
isolation. Taking the first pictures was an emotional experience, and I connected
to his vulnerability. Over time he became my muse and eventually my romantic
partner. Soon we began taking photos like addicts, setting up several shoots
every weekend."
