Although at first he was in fashion photography, Tigre Escobar became interested in documenting transgender people from Latin America as well as their experiences and stories fascinated by the aesthetic – “regardless of their socio-economical condition” – and the sense of storytelling of this community, and because he was drawn to this ultimate form of rebellion – daring to be whoever you want. Portraying all of his subjects in their personal spaces, he creates their story in their environment, as he explains, and thus is able to capture them in a more meaningful and honest way. We interview the photographer to know how he switched fashion photography for his personal project, what’s he doing to cope with quarantine, and his quest for beauty.
