I created this image as part of a series on queerness and authenticity. It was part of a final project for a 2022 studio lighting course at the University of Guelph-Humber. I pitched the series to my instructor for approval. Once I received approval, I found models and coordinated studio and model availability. I purchased props and borrowed equipment. I researched different poses and directed the model. The model was pleased with this image and it fits well into my series.
