Le Fil for GAY TIMES

Le Fil for GAY TIMES shot in their hometown of Brighouse and Huddersfield, West Yorkshire ✨ - I was so lucky to have the opportunity to shoot Le Fil at the Lawrence Batley Theatre. As a young adult, Le Fil started taking part in many shows here including ‘The King and I’ as Prince Chulalonkorn. ‘The King and I’ was one of the first Western films they watched featuring key Asian representation, Le Fil pays homage to this core memory in their life by wearing an outfit specially designed to emulate those seen in the movie. It was also the first time they ever went on a proper stage to perform and it really paved the way for who they are today. I also photographed them at various bus stops around Brighouse, wearing a dress they made, presenting the Yorkshire White Rose. When they were younger, they would spend so much time at these stops/on the bus to Huddersfield. This was their way of searching for something more and where they eventually got a scholarship at a local amateur dramatics company. ❣️
