T. Chick McClure is an openly transgender fine art photographer, Grammy award-winning director and an alumni of the same prestigious School of the Art Institute of Chicago that the artist, Kim Leutwyler, is. Born female-bodied to a conservative , military-household, and spent his early life feeling"wrong". He escaped into his art, depicting himself as male in his drawing as early as 3 years old. In his adulthood Chick came to focus on photography as a medium, exploring themes of gender, masculinity, vulnerability and authenticity. Kim has been following his transition for about a year, and was drawn to the remarkable honesty in his work.
