‘Transcend – Portraits of Transgender and Gender Diverse Youth’ is a photo series by Sydney photographer Emma Leslie, capturing nine children aged 5-17, dressed how they feel best reflects their personality, in an environment they are comfortable in.
This series is a chance to create awareness of the reality that is Transgender and the children that live with it. It has also been a moment for the subjects to feel happy in their own skin, as their true self, and to inspire others to do the same.
‘Transcend – Portraits of Transgender and Gender Diverse Youth’ is supported by the City of Yarra.
