# Grungy Transsexual Photography Cassy and Sethesa are Shot by Tom Andrews for VICE By Jordy E | Published 2012-01-13 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vice-transsexual-shoot References: [vice](http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/cassy-and-sethesa-hollywood-transgender?GalleryImage=24750) & [vice](http://www.vice.com) VICE magazine has recently revealed a [photo shoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles) of Cassy and Sethesa, two transsexual women from Los Angeles. In the release, photographer Tom Andrews explains that he met the odd beauties on Hollywood Boulevard and has since captured them in their essence among family and friends. The racy shoot is as much glamorous as it is rare. With so much attention on overtly feminine and/or masculine images in the majority of magazine spreads, it is refreshing to see an artist like Tom Andrews focus on what can lie between the sexes, which essentially, is Cassy and Sethesa. The black and white juxtaposition of [ostensible opulence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat) with L.A. grunge is tantalizing and draws attention to a potential cultural shift in the popular perception of sexy. An undoubtedly artistic win for the [L.G.B.T community](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/united-by-vanity). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Transgender Representation in Fashion:** Fashion brands can disrupt the industry by showcasing transgender models and designers to create a more inclusive and diverse aesthetic. - **Grungy Glamour Photography:** Photographers can disrupt the aesthetic norms of traditional glamour photography by incorporating grunge and underground elements. - **Intersectionality in Media Representation:** Media outlets can create greater representation and inclusivity by highlighting intersectional identities, such as transgender and people of color. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion and Beauty:** The fashion industry can disrupt standards of beauty and representation by embracing transgender models and designers. - **Photography and Art:** Photographers and artists can disrupt traditional aesthetics and perceptions by incorporating unconventional elements into their work. - **Media and Marketing:** Media outlets and marketing campaigns can disrupt traditional norms and promote diversity by showcasing intersectional identities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sexuality-Exploring Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rude-arts-club.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Disruptive Fashion Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Surrealist Beauty Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toiletpaper-magazine.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Hybrid Hair Salons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-hair-salon.md)
