After the success of 2019’s Transparent Love exhibition at BFI Flare, leading photographer Amanda Searle has created Still Me, an original series of beautiful portraits of ordinary people who have lived and are living extraordinary lives. These images approach the subjects with honesty and dignity, exploring themes of gender and identity through a profoundly human lens.

Amanda says: “I feel we cannot know or understand fully what it is like to live a transgender life, unless we are living one, but we can know and understand people who do. I hope these portraits give a sense of meeting these amazing people. I thank them for sharing time with me, it has been an honour to get to know them.”

All About Trans creates space for dialogue and understanding about trans people building connections and inspiring authentic media content that reflects real-life experiences. The programme is run by award-winning small charity Heard ( Heard.org.uk).
