Hello! I’m Christen, they/them!

I’m a queer nonbinary photographer in Toronto. I’m AuDHD, my special interests are board games, painting & photography. I believe in supporting community in little and big ways, and treating those around me with love and softness.

My business prof has repeatedly praised me by saying I’m “authentic and intentional”, and that is exactly what I want to be.

A six panel goblin comic. Panel 1. One goblin stands in a corn field just before dawn. Everything is blue except a line of yellow and orange sunrise on the horizon. TEXT: The yellow is returning... Panel 2. One goblin stands in the cornfield, the sky is yellow, orange blue and purple with cloud textures. The field and the goblin is still in shadow. TEXT: But the blues... Panel 3. Everything has become more orange as dawn breaks. A second goblin has appeared, waving to the first. TEXT: Remain. Panel 4. The sky has become yellow, green, blue and the field is orange. The goblins are holding hands. TEXT: Fight for, protect... Panel 5. The the sky is a beautiful cornflower blue. The Field is yellow. The goblins hug and watch the sky while rough grasses wave in the foreground. TEXT: And stand with... Panel 6. The goblins are gone. The yellow field and blue sky are bright, resembling the Ukrainian flag. TEXT: Ukraine

My thoughts, especially today are with every transgender person and trans child - and the good parents who support them. You are seen. You are respected, you are loved.

Nighttime at the 519 on Church St in Toronto

Nighttime in Toronto. A bright rainbow sign in the shape of a ribbon is attached to a lamp post, across from the 519 community centre. Tail lights from cars streak across the photo due to the long exposure time.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.

They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.

Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.

I think about it a lot in moments like this.

My girlfriend and I have been going on dates to the Royal Ontario museum. She adores admiring the collection, while I adore admiring her.

My goal with my photography is to capture and celebrate queer and trans joy. Our existence is power, and our joy is resistance.

In addition to photography, I really enjoy watercolour painting! I’m still new and learning a lot every day!
