Artistic Director / Photographer

Kael T Block, a Columbian photographer living in Paris, started the "XX Boys" project in 2004 by documenting his own transition. Over the last five years he has travelled around the world to meet other FtMs who wanted to celebrate their trans identity and share their personal story.The "XX Boys" pictures were exhibited in many countries in art galleries, queer LGBT festivals, public places, universities and museums. Kael works in Paris as a freelance photographer for gay magazines and book companies, queer and burlesque performers, musicians and activists.
