I present a collection of self portraits that explore my identity as a trans man and follow my experience fighting for visibility through my art.

I chose to name this exhibition “SELF” to represent my own identity and showcase the work that represents who I am as an artist. As a trans man, I’ve dedicated the past 4 years of my career to raising awareness and bringing visibility to my community through my artwork. I want to introduce people to that side of my photography at THE STUDIO in Chester whether or not people agree with it. I want my work to create dialogue and start those much needed conversations about the world and how the transgender community is seen.

I want this to be an opportunity for people to see me as an artist through the work I’m the most passionate about while also getting to know me as a human being and what I stand by. I’ll be shooting in my studio for a project (that I actually need models for) so you can stop by to check out my work, see what I do and even create with me if there’s a concept you want to book in the studio!

LOOKING FOR TRANS MODELS FOR PROJECT

I’m also looking for any and all trans or queer people who would like to be a part of this project that I’m putting together for Trans Day of Visibility on March 31st. Feel free to stop by anytime throughout the night to model (all that is required is a white shirt, sweatshirt, sweater, etc). All I need is one portrait in front of a black backdrop. Completely free and takes about 5 minutes so if you’re interested but can’t make it that night, let me know if there’s another time that works for you!

15% of sales in THE STUDIO on 3/1 will go towards Nex Benedict’s family. Read more about Nex here.
