LGBTQ+ models costume/props (contents & article)

For the LGBTQ+ section of my magazine, I wanted members a part of our community to convey their acceptance and pride for who they are. Aiden is a transgender teenage male and Lessy is his girlfriend, who has been with him even before his transition. I wanted to take pictures of both of them individually and together. Aiden will be wearing a white t-shirt, boyfriend jeans, and some black and white converse. Lessy on the other hand will be wearing a black tank top, a kimono, and some high-waisted shorts. As for props, I wanted Aiden to bring his transgender flag so that he can wrap it around him and them during the photo shoot.

Aiden & Ashley uncover their path towards self-love and self-acceptance. Openly discussing their hardships, realizations, and overall journeys with self. Self-love and self-acceptance look completely and utterly different to each and every person you encounter. "We all struggle with accepting or loving some part of ourselves", Ashley says. For Ashley, it was always the inability of accepting and embracing the physical vessel she had been brought into this world with. "I always hated social media and the Ideas it enabled into my mind as a 10-year-old." The unrealistic ways in which media portrays women tremendously affected the way Ashley started perceiving herself. She thought that in order to fit society's definition of "pretty", she must have had to carry each trait she noticed the women on TV had, a tiny waist, hairless bodies, no stretch marks, or pimples, and so on.
