T-girl from Cambridgeshire, dressed most of the time, including work.

If i go out then i prefer straight venues as opposed to TG related parties and clubs.

Many varied interests, music and females, art. Also a political activist, anarchist and freedom fighter =o)

Not really sure there is much more to tell, but im sure i will think of something!

I only wish I was as brave as you Alison how did you go about it at work if you dont mind me asking? Lol Joanne

One word, Media lol could have 2 heads and people wouldnt notice. Obviously i dress quite sensible (ahem lol) for work.

There was one model who had an issue with me but we put her in a wheelie bin and stored it away somewhere dark =o) to be fair though, she was a plus sized model who hated anyone who was more slender than she, she didnt get on with many people and didnt last too long in the industry, even though she was stunning and actually quite a good model, just a really bad stinking attitude.

I dont have my own studio so i book shoots with other studios and most have been cool towards me, but there is one studio owner who, pardon my bad french, is a total kent! Proper fascist, we didnt agree on anything, human rights, governments lies, the continuing wars in the middle east, freedom of speech etc, was i stood for, he stood against, and he had quite firm ideas what a man and woman should be, all neatly compartmentalized to suit his narrow view of the world around him.

By the end of last year i was hearing whispers from models that this guy was bad mouthing me, telling models and fellow photographers that i was only in the business to get off with models, that i was a perv. Thankfully these were models who knew me, and have worked with me previously, and had fun at my shoots. If anything, it worked against his favour, literally as soon as the christmas holidays were over, i had a flood of offers coming in from new models who wanted to check me out for themselves.

Only been doing this for 18months, although i have been into photography all mylife almost, since i was 7 anyhow, but as soon as i began to shoot fashion, glamour and fetish images with models, i withdrew my female presence from the web fearing that it could hinder my career, but within a few months of doing this, most people, models, stylists, make up artists, photographers etc, who i worked with, kinda realized who i was, hearing "Oh Rob your such a girl!" was pretty regular, so i had to come out again, told my number one model i was tg, it was her who stood by me initially, and people were curious about this newbie who liked to dress as a chick, but like everyone else, it didnt matter who or what i was, just that i was good at what i do with a camera, always got a result, and always has fun.

I have to laugh at some photographers who spend ages trying to explain how he or she wants an image to look like, clumsily describing how to pose, when all i do is show the models the pose myself, works a treat actually, always gives the models something to giggle at, which is the reaction im after really.

Id like to say that it was easy, but it wasn't, my first shoot with a new client while dressed was so nerve wracking, so much so that i stupidly forgot to take my L lens, and had to borrow an inferior non USM lens from another tog who was in the studio at the time.

When i came out in 2002, i didnt have a career, just a shitty job, so it didnt really matter what my work colleagues thought of me, but photography has always been my passion, and i knew i wanted to make a living from it, but i didnt know which direction to take until 2 years ago, i kinda stumbled into this by accident almost.

Incredibly, i still have no fashion sense =o)
