Ajamu (b. Huddersfield, UK) is a photographic artist, scholar, archive curator and radical sex activist best known for his imagery that challenges dominant ideas around black masculinity, gender, sexuality and representation of black LGBTQ+ people in the United Kingdom. This portrait of actor and model Chaune King is part of the artist's series 'Ecce Homo [Behold the Man] – Portraits of Black Trans Men'. The platinum print was made during the Autograph x Light Work residency in March 2023, and is now a part of Autograph's collection of photography. Like other black and queer histories, the presented visual narratives of black trans men tend not to reflect a myriad of experiences and complex, nuanced representations. In the arts and mainstream/popular culture, there remains a problematic and oppressive marginalisation of black trans voices and lived experiences.
