22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Asiso

I choose my models to photograph people who have challenges in their life and psyche and have the desire to express that part of their existence and identity that they cannot express in society due to cultural, social and religious restrictions. Reveal in front of my camera. Asiso was a boy who liked to be a model in Vogue and also liked to show his inner woman (femininity) with make-up and feminine figures. I photographed him several times and told him my ideas for photography and he agreed to do these projects together.
