The book presents a diverse array of photographic approaches, from intimate portraits to experimental visual narratives. Featured photographers include Laurence Philomène, who captures non-binary identity through vibrant self-portraits, and Paul Mpagi Sepuya, known for his studio portraits that examine themes of intimacy and self-representation.
