This is really cool and worth a look. Nuria López Torres is a Spanish photographer who has created several photo essays focused on transgender women around the world, sometimes glamorizing them, but very often showing the gritty reality that they live and work in. Cuba, Turkey, Brazil – the photographs are very well done and many of them grip at your heart. If you browse the galleries for too long, make certain you have a box of tissues nearby.
Links to her individual galleries are below, along with a sample from each gallery for artistic illustration.
