It’s impressive that even the most sympathetic photographer, an actual twanswoman, cannot photograph or photoshop the subjects in a way that makes them look vaguely feminine. This is as good as it gets.
The blurb is a trip
Available now for preorder, We Deserve This by the automotive journalist and photographer Victoria Scott explores the intersection of femininity, fashion, automotive culture and trans joy. As a car enthusiast and a trans woman, Scott recognizes the power of personal style in one’s car — and one’s wardrobe. She searched for works that focused on this convergence of fashion and trans life, but after coming up empty-handed, she simply decided to create one herself.
Through 21 shoots in four states over the course of two years, Scott documents a broad swath of transfeminine life in 2020s America, featuring a wide variety of femmes, cars, locates and styles. Part style inspiration, part love letter to car culture, part roadmap to creating a joyfully unique self-image, We Deserve This is a rare work that auto enthusiasts, fashionistas and trans women can all enjoy together.
Only trans women will love this. The average car enthusiast or fashionista, not so much. There’s good car porn available without gawky men cluttering the shot, and the clothes deserve a fashionista auto da fé.
