“I’m thankful to have parents who are open minded, and listened to what I was feeling when I was young.”
-Floris, age 22, 2022
Floris is a young adult living in the Netherlands. He began transitioning to the gender he identified with when he was four-years-old.
This is the second portrait I photographed of Floris for my portrait project Embrace. The first portrait, photographed in 2016, was posted yesterday. Embrace is a long term project which explores the lives of transgender and gender non-binary youth, adults and elderly from different parts of the world. Embrace was exhibited at Gallery ef in Tokyo and FotoForum Dresden during 2020. I’m hoping to exhibit the project again in the near future.
