I befriended Taylor Sampson at the start of October 2022. I did not know him nor spoken a word to him. My surface-level assumption of Taylor Sampson was that he knew himself well. I could feel Taylor’s confidence in himself and his work. After spending time with him, I started to grasp his humble upbringing. My photo sequence symbolizes the growth from doubt to acceptance of femininity as a gay man. The photos highlight the struggle of not fitting the masculine standard compared to his peers, and accepting that there is both masculinity and femininity within himself.  During our studio session, I claimed more subjective authorship to convey my approach; however, I was able to capture small moments like a jaw clench, or gripping on shorts that were by chance.
