Liam Woods: "There is still such a horrific lack in the industry of Black Trans and Queer artists as well as Black femme artists both in front and behind the camera."
Liam Woods is a Trans and Non Binary image maker whose work is characterized by the vulnerable, candidly intimate storytelling of Queer people, People of Color and other marginalized communities.
Shado presents their art in the article The photographer laying the foundations for a Black Trans future.
Liam says:
Photography for me has been a form of creative freedom and escapism from a world that has often been cruel to me 鈥撀燼nd still continues to do so as a Black openly Trans and Non Binary聽person who also has Borderline Personality Disorder from the years of trauma.聽
My photography gives me the power to shift the narrative and create worlds and relationships that I hope for and that I hope will inspire others.聽
Worlds of inclusivity, liberation, kindness, vulnerability without brutal judgement, honesty and love of all forms.聽
My lived experience inspires me to focus on what matters to me. To create art that is uplifting and true of the heart of the people around me. I want to inspire their best selves and in doing so that inspires me more in return with my practice.
