Jia Yuchuan: Bending Gender series, 2010 The rapid urban transformation has provided Chinese city residents personal and social options which are not available in rural contexts, including the creation of micro-cultures such as the transvestite-transsexual community of Shenzhen. Jia’s pictures investigate the private lives of the transsexual persons, their process of self-transformation, and their self-presentation in public. Born in Chongqing in 1961, Jia Yuchuan graduated from the Journalism Department of Wuhan University in 1999, and now works as a photographer for a Shenzhen newspaper group. He has won several national awards for news photography. -- source link
