Broadly created the 'Gender Spectrum Collection' of stock photos as a free stock library that features more than 180 images of transgender and non-binary models to improve the way the underrepresented community is seen. These stock photos feature people in everyday scenarios, offering a way for the media to represent "people with careers, relationships, talents, passions and home lives." As such, the Gender Spectrum Collection is organized into categories like relationships, technology, school, health, moods and more.
For the project, trans photographer, artist and producer Zackary Drucker captured natural images without cliches that are often seen in the limited amount of stock photography that represents this community, such as people putting on makeup, posing by pride or trans flags or standing in proximity to a gender-neutral bathroom sign.
