Self Published, 2017. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. Meg Allen, 2017. Softcover. First Edition, First Printing. 9" x 12". 198 pages with 123 photographic images in color throughout by photographer Meg Allen exploring what the concept of "butch" means in the modern era via portriats of women and queer individuals who don't conform to the strict codes of gender identity. BUTCH is an environmental Portrait series documenting the aesthetics of the butch identity in the queer mecca of San Francisco and surrounding area from 2012-2017. The portraits were shot during a time when queers were disappearing from the city and there were cries from the lesbian community that the butch identity was also disappearing. Each individual was asked to choose their wardrobe and to pick a location they connected to. Most chose their homes. The series explores what butch means in the modern era and features women and gender queer individuals who don't conform to the strict codes of gender identity. For queers, the series celebrates the butch identity that never recieves the spotlight. And for heterosexuals, the series allows them to journey through the possibilities of identifying outside the gender binary.
