TRANS MASC PHOTO SERIES — AN INVITATION
I want to create a photo series about transmasc bodies, erotica, pleasure, desire, kink, intimacy, and just… being allowed to exist in your body.
I’m a trans man myself, and this is something I’ve wanted to create for a long time. I’m very nerdy and very passionate about sex, kink, fetish, BDSM, bodies, sexuality, and all the weird and beautiful things that live in that world. I’m also fascinated by photography and by what happens when someone feels genuinely seen.
For me, this isn’t about taking something from someone or making a picture that belongs to me.
I want us to create it together.
Your body is yours. My body is mine. Our bodies can be completely different, and I want to make space for that difference.
I want to photograph transmasc people and Transmasc-non-Transmasc-nonbinary people in ways that allow them to decide how much of themselves they want to show. You can be anonymous. You can cover your face, blur it, hide it, use makeup, wear a mask, make yourself into a character, or simply show whatever parts of yourself feel right to you.
There doesn’t have to be one way of being transmasculine.
There doesn’t have to be one kind of body.
Scars, no scars. Hair, no hair. Bellies, chests, curves, flatness, softness, angles, different skin colours, different textures, different ages. Bodies that look masculine. Bodies that don’t. Bodies that change. Bodies that are still figuring themselves out.
I want to see all of it.
I want to create an archive of bodies that we don’t get to see enough of — not as something strange or shocking, but as something completely human.
And I want sexuality to be part of that.
Erotica, kink, fetish, BDSM, nudity, pleasure and desire can all be completely normal parts of somebody’s life. I don’t want to treat them as something shameful or something that has to be hidden.
At the same time, consent is the foundation of this entire project.
Nothing will be photographed, used, exhibited, shared or published without your explicit consent. We can talk beforehand about what you are and aren’t comfortable with, what you want photographed, whether you want your identity visible, and where you are comfortable with the photographs being shown.
You don’t owe me anything because you agreed to participate.
You can change your mind.
I want the process itself to feel safe, collaborative and good.
I’m still relatively new to photographing people in this way, and I want to be honest about that. But this is something that has been very intriguing to me for a long time. I feel incredibly lucky that I might get to create something like this with other people.
There’s also something very nostalgic for me in the idea of bodies simply being bodies.
Growing up in Denmark, nudity could sometimes feel very ordinary — being at the beach, swimming, being around family, seeing different bodies without everything automatically becoming sexual or shameful. I remember that feeling of bodies just existing. Different shapes, colours, hair, ages and textures.
I think we’ve lost some of that freedom.
And I would love to make a little space for it again.
A space where you can dress up. Undress. Play. Be weird. Be beautiful. Be funny. Be vulnerable. Be completely anonymous. Be yourself for an hour. Or be someone else for an hour.
There can be seriousness and there can be humour.
There can be tenderness.
There can be kink.
There can be sexuality.
There can simply be a body standing there and being seen.
I keep thinking about a song that says, essentially, I just want to see you glow.
That is probably the simplest explanation for why I want to do this.
I want to see transmasc people glow.
I want people to feel seen in moments where they can actually be themselves.
And maybe, through these photographs, we can create something that other people can look at and think:
Oh.
That body exists.
That body is normal.
I’m not the only one.
That, to me, would be incredibly beautiful.
This is something I care about deeply, and something I hope can become a small contribution to a bigger archive of transmasc life, bodies, sexuality and joy.
If you’re interested, I’d love to talk.
You decide what you show.
We decide what we create.
And your boundaries come first.
