Abstract
The individual experiences of Queer people around the world are as unique as they are special; however, societal acceptance and visibility of these identities remains limited, particularly when referring to non-cisgender Queer identities. This research examined the ways that showcasing Queer identities through documentary imagery and giving subjects a high amount of control over the editing process, impacted their feelings of self-worth in relation to their identity. This process involved two separate rounds of photo elicitation interviews with two subjects, and these subject's reactions, thoughts, and feelings about the photographs in turn impacted further photographic production and the final editing process. Two separate theoretical bodies were used to guide this research, Social Information Processing Theory and Queer Theory.
