Resemblance - Leah DeVun

Over the last three years, partly in response to this growing hostile climate, I’ve been photographing my partner -- a transgender father -- and our son, recording our daily life. Many of my photographs take place in and around our apartment in Brooklyn, and at my parents’ home in suburban New Jersey. In those homes, we play, eat, dance, draw, hug, sleep. Much of what we do is joyful, and the photographs offer a counterweight, in part, to the many stories about anti-LGBTQ+ violence and trauma that dominate the news and our social media feeds.
