Lorenzo Triburgo shoots his transgender subjects from a slightly upward-facing angle in order to portray a sense of heroism.

It's one of many choices Triburgo made in the construction of his "Transportraits," which are meant to convey specific ideas about a subject matter in which he's highly invested.

"What I wanted to do was create a project that was not about anyone's particular story but more about my connection to the subject, the subject being gender identity and constructions of masculinity," he said.
