Abstract

Brazil is the country that most kills transgender and transvestite people the world over. This is due to the transphobia that a whole population group suffers. Because of this prevailing prejudice, this group has a socially image constructed very distorted reality. As research, this monograph will focus on the deconstruction of the pre-concept and image of the group through por- trait photography, reframing the image, proposing the use of photography as an agent of social emancipation and the self-esteem of the trans population as a way of valuing life.

The Data Theory presenting the methodology applied to the project, planning and making possible solutions to the problem in question. As a final, the Contribution, bringing the results of the work and a conclusion analysis with respect to the notes of the monograph.
