Mar C. Llop was the leading portraitist for transgender people. Photography was an extension of her activism in defence of transgender rights. In the 1980s she studied photography at the Institute of Photographic Studies of Catalonia, and has worked in advertising and publishing. She became particularly interested in portraiture, something that is reflected in projects such as “Construcciones identitàries. Work in progress”. In this work she captured the different bodily processes experienced by transgender people. She was a member of the Generem! trans association, and was involved in the “Trans*forma la Salut” platform in the fight for a new model of health care for transgender people.
