Here is Aiden explaining to his model what the series is about. It was so, so much fun to look at him just entering the field with his camera. Hilarious photo session.

I have been working on a short documentary for three months. It is about gender identity and art: I´m featuring Aiden, a young photographer who transitioned from a female to a male body and who deals with gender identity in his art work.
I kept a "production book," but it soon became a journal reflecting what would be my own journey unlearning what I knew about gender and rewriting it.
Many times I considered blogging these notes, but thought nobody would be interested. That, until Aiden began asking about my reactions, my ideas, my feelings, my own experience of gender.
He and his story made it so hard to stay at the corner and report. I knew that sharing my thoughts during the production would change his responses as an interviewee, so I shut up. The harder it became, the more I wrote. Here are my notes.
I´m a full-time graduate student of journalism at Georgetown University, in Washington DC.
I came to the United States as soon as I finished my undergraduate studies in history at Pontifical Catholic University, in Santiago de Chile.
I´m passionate about the religions, history, and arts of the south of Asia.I also love radio and visual storytelling, and I plan to combine all these passions in a career devoted to strenghten intercultural dialogue.
