People Like Us: A photobook by Holly Revell

2025   People Like Us documents Holly’s 7 year long gender affirming portraiture project by the same name. The book is composed of 370 photographs, a journal with over 18,000 words of participants’ reflections, a specially commissioned text by hotpencil press. 

The book is lithograph printed throughout, with a two-colour fluorescent pink and matte gold cover that draws it’s texture from a photograph of chest binding tape. The covers french flaps unfold to reveal a close up of a hairy chest with surgery scars. Inside is a 196pp section of photography on 130gsm gloss paper and 48pp of text on 100gsm Munken Print Cream.
