Erin DeGroote

Erin Degroote is a trans photographer based in Vancouver, Canada specializing in fetish, boudoir, and portrait photography.

Incorporating grunge aesthetics, dark surrealism, and eerie natural and industrial locations, they collaborate with models from the queer, trans, and sex worker communities to produce images that portray their subjects in a powerful and creative light.

As a self-taught artist, they have spent over a decade exploring light, colour, and form through digital photography, and their work is marked by attention to detail in composition and exposure, with an editing style that emphasizes subtleties created in-camera.

Taking a synergistic approach with the individuals they photograph, they work with models’ input and feedback on concepts while shooting, striving to create photos that subjects see themselves in.
