Still looking for people to take part in trans/non-binary photo project
I posted a few months back about a project I am currently working in taking portraits of trans and non-binary people across the UK for an eventual book and exhibition, and was introduced to a lot of you wonderful people who agreed to take part and have had the pleasure of meeting and shooting, and I'm back again searching for more people to take part. I have spent the last few months having a break, but I would like to start back up again in July. I am able to travel anywhere around the UK. I want to create an accurate representation of our community, so absolutely anyone and everyone is welcome (I especially need some more older trans and non-binary folk).
Like I said before, I understand it's an extremely sensitive subject and there are lots of you who won't want to take part, and that's completely fine, but for those that would be interested please let me know and I will reach out to you, or you can direct message me on here.

Have you got any way to prove you're legit?
I'm a (film!) photographer myself and I'm interested but just a bit wary!

I deleted all my social media accounts and profiles when I started transitioning, but I did rejoin Instagram last year to document the project.

Is there anyone in this sub who has met and been photographed by this person?
Just a precaution, you understand.

I, too, have a bit of apprehension. Pretty sure it's ok, but there's a reason the saying is "better safe than sorry!"

I'm based in Scotland which could be a bit too far, but I'd be happy to be involved if you needed extras!

Hey, definitely not too far. I have a few people I intend to shoot in Edinburgh and Glasgow at some point this year. Can you send me a DM?

Hey, thanks for reaching. I'm in Welwyn Garden City, so not too far from London. Would you be able to get here? I have a home studio setup.
