A Collection for The National Transgender Charity.

50 portraits commissioned by The National Transgender Charity.

Stories of transformation are fascinating. It is not just the physical changes, but how our internal, emotional lives change too. Your Own Light is a reference to the light within us that appears when we find a way out of the shadows.

The stories of the participants are included because their voices are a collaboration.

'Trans'. Did I disarm you with that word? You smile, nodding at the right moments, but I can feel your growing distance. I've been here before and would ask you not to travel with me. We each have our journeys and experiences that neither could fully appreciate; isn't empathy enough to connect us?'
