It matters just as much who makes the work as what the work does.
Chloe Aftel &
Chloe Aftel (she/they) is a non-binary director and photographer based in California. For over a decade Chloe has documented minority groups with a focus on female-identified, non-binary and trans communities, most notably in her award-winning book Outside & In Between that explores life beyond the gender binary.
Working in both motion & stills, across portraiture, reportage, personal projects, and advertising, Chloe illuminates the roles of gender, identity and sexuality including inhabiting a body that is treated as other. Giving subjects room to move in a cinematic landscape, she is focused on catching the moments in between, when people forget the camera is there and allow more of their true selves to be seen.
