t-fags

A photo book exploring 'fag' identity for trans men, transmasculine and non-binary people.

The book compiles over 50 photographs of trans men as well as transmasculine and nonbinary people who identify with the term ‘fag.’ The photos, taken by Hardwick and creative directed by Isaacs, take inspiration from the canon of classic homoerotic photography books — where the artists felt a noted absence of trans bodies.

By reclaiming the historically loaded slur, the project’s contributors embody masculinities that embrace femininity and gender expansiveness; deconstructing expectations of heteronormativity for those who transition gender.
