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

With the new Harry Potter series she will be making a reported $20 million per-season renewal + other performance dependent royalties. She has been open across multiple interviews regarding her intentions to use said funds to push forth even more trans targeted legislation in the years to come.

This isn’t a “she gets paid no matter what” situation. The more eyeballs on this show the more money she has to actively harm vulnerable communities. By engaging with it you are directly supporting this and otherwise making a conscious choice to consume HP over doing the literal very least possible to not destroy the lives of trans people across the world.

If my stating the objective facts above upsets you then feel free to unfriend and move along. Your nostalgia-goggles feelings for a tired, problematic franchise mean nothing to me compared to the welfare of my trans friends and loved ones."

If you care more about badly written children's books and imaginary wizards more than you do about real people in the real world do it far the fuck away from me.

Don't try to be in my life.

and personally? i'm totally fine paying that amount of money just for the missions themselves. space missions won't solve all of our problems on earth, but they taught us what the hidden face of the moon is like, that pluto has a heart, that there are methane seas on a moon of saturn, how our sun and our planet came to be, what earth looks like from the edge of the solar system, that we are not the center of the universe, that we are one tiny part of an immense universe with countless stars, galaxies, and worlds

And also found out Elisabeth Ohlson Wallin has a series of incredible queer religious photographs that are all amazing and I'm in love with all of them!
