The Identity Project, A Photo Series Exploring Self-Assigned Gender Labels And Sexual Identity

Sarah Deragon, a San Francisco photographer, has created “The Identity Project“, a photo series that explores the sexual and gender definitions that people within the LGBTQ community assign to themselves.

This photography project was launched because as a photographer, I wanted to explore the labels that we use when we define our sexuality and gender. I need your help to take the project to the next level.

I want to travel to five US cities to photograph other queer communities. I’m committed to reflecting the beautiful diversity of our LGBTQ communities and I am actively seeking participants who are POC, trans*, bisexual, youth, elders, disabled, immigrant, and otherwise identify as outside of the mainstream lesbian and gay culture.
