You rock socks. I know that some changes in life make ourselves uncomfortable and others a little crazy. Being trans is nothing special. Being human is. Congratulations on being human, persevering, and being brave enough to be you. <3

I don't think most people would have a problem with a trans model. There will always be those few. If I had any advice it would be not to look to others for validation. You made choices that are unpopular to some, don't get upset if they don't accept it, they never will. Own your choices, be a model, you don't need validation.

As far as the portfolio goes, I would suggest diversifying. A lot of your photos are similar/from the same shoot. Time to crank out some shoots!

None whatsoever. My very first model (and still one of my faves a few years down) is transgender.

There was a trans model on antm a few seasons ago. I don't think theres just a lot of transphobic people in every line of work

You are absolutely beautiful!! I'm a trans woman as well and even though I'm a photographer, I'm also often the subject of my own work. I think creating some visibility and representation is a really wonderful and important thing for our community so I'm very happy to see you putting yourself out there.

I personally would just keep an eye out for anyone who would jump straight to asking you to shoot nude, as they/their images may just exploit or fetishize your body/gender, making your trans-identity the true subject of the image, when it should be you.

Good luck and happy internetting love!

All my best,
Leah
