Artist profile: Amos Mac

Amos Mac is an American artist who predominately works in photography and print.
Mac has gained noteriety as a photographer for taking photographs of transgender individuals, as well as being the co founder of ORIGINAL PLUMBING, a magazine made for and by trans men and trans masculine individuals. His work consists of advocacy and activism through portraiture, as well as fashion editorial work for Vouge Italia. Below are some of my favorite photos by this artist

Amos Mac explores gender and sexuality and the intersection between them. He is also an interesting artist as he has used social media to contact all the various people he has photographed over the years. Social media has played a major hand in ORIGINAL PLUMBINGS success as well, with the internet the world is not as large as it used to be, minority groups such as transgender men, which consist of about 0.5% of the US population, are now able to access community and resources that wouldn't have been available until recently with social media.
