Art I Like

Intimate portraits. Crowd pits. Play scenes. Protests. My pals. Grassroots nights. My community.

I'm only just getting started on documenting lezzers n queers in all our forms. There's a lack of representation of butchness and female masculinity in mainstream media. When queers are photographed for campaigns n such they're often curated in appearance with a skinny, feminine, and 'palatable' look for the wider audience. This ain't what I'm about.

I'm Lou, a butch lesbian from Portsmouth, UK interested in the in-between and unseen moments, reframing from a lesbian perspective. My photoshoots aren't ever in studios, for me it's about getting to know the person to understand how they want to be seen. I also live with incurable cancer which has profoundly shaped my approach to photography, influencing my perspective on intimacy and survival. Each year I spend hours chatting away to new people at these occasions and I bloody love it.

I'm Manchester based and if you'd like to book a shoot there's a link in my bio. It's £60 an hour and you'll get plenty of images in that time.

I also sell my work, £15 inc UK postage for A4 print to stick up on ya wall of filth.

Thank you geezers x

Stay here, I'll be right back

To the Wolf, god gave ripping teeth, and the Law of the Pack.

To the Bear, god gave crushing jaws, and terrible strength

To the Falcon, god gave slicing talons, and great sight
