Paz Errazuriz - Adams Apple (1983)

these are intimate portraits of gender non conforming sex workers in Chile during a time of political intolerance. The artist Paz Errazuriz stated that in taking this portraits he "Found a family that [I] wish had always been my own." In moving to London and embracing more gender non conforming individuals that are similar to me, I have the same mentality and this thought process regarding portraiture in this style is a major inspiration for my photography for this assignment. 

- enjoy the intimacy of photographing people in their own private spaces - authenticity.

Thinking about the relationship between the model and the camera --- how can I create a honest gaze to the camera that is not posed/forced - I want to photograph myself in my authentic private space --- maybe photograph by myself? So I am not posing or thinking too much with a photographer?
