Collier Schorr About Her Photography

Video (2:09): Queer photographer Collier Schorr talks to Art:21 about how she works with one of her young models, a young man, whom she has asked to copy poses as a woman. She is featured in the Season 2 episode “Loss & Desire” of the Art21 series “Art in the Twenty-First Century”.

Collier Schorr’s photographs examine the way nationality, gender and sexuality influence an individual’s identity. Known for her portraits of adolescents, Schorr’s pictures often blend photographic realism with elements of fiction. Schorr trains her camera on tribes of young men whose bodies and athletic training homogenize personal differences, including soldiers and wrestlers.
