The first image is taken from Nessie’s project ‘School’s Out’.

“‘School’s Out’ is inspired by teenage queer self-discovery and the search for community as a teenager in school. Photographed and interviewed at my old school, this series focuses on a group of current students, who generously shared their experiences of being queer in education, the journey of finding themselves and their community. This photography series is a love letter to the connections and friendships I found during that period of time, that supported, cared for and shaped me.”
