I am an artist, having started as a model but now transitioning into creating images – I intend one day to act in and create my own movies.ĭo you remember the first time you were conscious about your appearance?īryce Anderson: I remember a period of time in my childhood, from I would assume birth until I started elementary school, where I was never concerned about my appearance. Listen to what the kids have to say, we’re smart!”Ĭan you tell us a bit about yourself and where you grew up?īryce Anderson: My name is Bryce Anderson, I grew up in many states in America as my family moved around a lot, but most prominently I grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada. We need to have more empathy and heart otherwise the world is going to get even darker than it already was.
“Hollywood, fashion, and every industry beyond needs a redesign and we need to start including people of more interest, talent, and diversity. “During this time, we need to shine a spotlight on people who have something to say,” they muse. The model and photographer hopes that portraying the nuance of gender identity in a ‘for us, by us’ way will have a knock-on effect to the fashion and beauty industries at large. While creating beautiful captivating images, the self-portraits are also an outlet for Anderson to explore their gender identity in a way that they hadn’t felt had been accurately portrayed in shoots elsewhere. “I sometimes feel a bit like that film Being John Malkovich, like people are constantly coming through me and changing my way of life. “I greatly enjoy acting and I love becoming somebody else,” they explain. “My images tell a story and whatever that story may be to you is exactly what I aimed to create.”Įvoking a feeling of 90s magazine shoots, Anderson might portray classic beauty with huge 60s lashes in one set of images and then channel kawaii beauty in another. “I have always known that I’m not meant to be just ‘Bryce’, but a vehicle for the lives of others and their ideas to live through me,” they explain on how they first got into taking the images. With COVID-19 forcing us all indoors, Anderson has taken this time to hone their craft and explore the different facets of their identity that their self-portraits explore. As they’re beginning to make a name for themselves as a model – they’ve worked with the likes of Marc Jacobs, Moschino, Maison Margiela, and GCDS – they’re also flexing their muscles as a photographer, taking incredibly captivating self-portraits.
