This is Sam here, and I am going to post a picture or two that I have taken for my Photo Essay. Before doing so I need to say that my original plans fell through, because my subject (my friend and his band 'to-be') had a death in the family. So, with that said, I have resorted to my other idea.
I am going to document what life is like for one of my best friends, named John. I have known him for almost 10 years now. He identifies as a Transgendered Woman. To put it simply, he feels like a woman trapped in the body of a man. His chosen name is Alice, and he prefers to be referred to as what he feels he is, a woman, so I will do that from now on.
Alice is still in the transition process- she wears women's clothing, makeup, and will be taking hormones soon to aid in this process. I guess what I want to show is this process of transition (even though it won't be finished by a long shot) and have her explain how she knew this is the right path for her and have her talk about some of the struggles in her life. Even though she is different- she is still a person.
Some photo ideas I have for this are:
1) Shooting at least one photo of Alice as a man (done)
2)Shoot some of the things in her personal space (ex. her room)
3)Maybe video of her getting ready for her day (ex. putting makeup on)
4)at least one photo of the hormones she will be taking
