My name is Remy Styrk and I'm the Founder and Director of Halogen. Halogen is a Black trans-led creative arts organization that uses visual art and inclusive data for innovative and proactive suicide awareness in Black and Brown trans communities. We create original resources, such as books, documentaries, photo series, and more, that can be placed in our partner locations such as therapist offices, community centers, and nonprofit organizations.

I’m offering free photoshoots for Black and Brown trans and gender diverse folks. This is a space for anything that helps folks access gender euphoria, love on themselves, and/or get to know themselves deeper. This is also a space to ask me anything about Halogen and the work I’m doing raising suicide awareness for Black and Brown trans communities.

While Halogen is based in Seattle, I'm hoping to travel to reach more folks! There have been a large number of inquires about providing free photoshoots in NYC.

Global Pro Makeup Artist, Nikia Michaela, who is based in NYC, will be donating her services. Nikia's work has been seen in Vogue, NYFW, Paris Fashion Week, and more! Check out her instagram here.

The campaign is a matching fundraiser to help me get to NYC by the end of October 2025. I will be contributing $500 to match $500 in donations for a total of $1,000.
