Photographer Jordan Rossi photographed a six-page photo editorial story with icon, trans activist and trailblazer Munroe Bergdorf for the digital cover of HUNGER magazine.
“Fearless, rule-breaking, and non-stop creative, Jordan Rossi is the brightest emerging photographic talent.” Rankin Group. “Specializing in music, beauty, and fashion, he splashes his work with the color and conversation of the LGBTQ+ community. At every opportunity, he utilizes his platform to spotlight key issues and topics of the Queer community.”
Having photographed people the likes of Munroe Bergdorf, legendary activist Peter Tatchell and Lady Phyll, the founder of British Black Pride, activist Jordan Rossi is not about to stop referencing LGBTQ+ talent in his work anytime soon or presenting it to the public perfectly illuminated – and if need be rubbing it in their face.
Munroe Bergdorf is a English model and activist with Jamaican-British roots. She has already walked for brands such as Gypsy Sport at the London and NYC Fashion Weeks, and was also the first transgender model in the UK to be booked by L’Oréal. However, her luck didn’t last long; she was dropped after a racial row within only a few weeks. Now, of course, all water under the bridge…
On Wikipedia, we read : “In November 2021, Bergdorf was recognized with the GAY TIMES Honour for British Community Trailblazer at the fifth annual GAY TIMES Honours celebration in London. She was presented the award by Ellie Goulding and also featured as one of the cover stars for the Honours’ edition of GAY TIMES Magazine. Having been named ‘Changemaker of the Year’ in 2018 by Cosmopolitan UK, she became the first transgender person to feature on the front cover of the magazine for its 50th anniversary issue, published on 21 January, 2022.”
Back to Jordan : the avowed homosexual created his very own niche in the British pop music scene over the years by collaborating often and eagerly with artists including Little Mix, Years & Years, Raye, Griff, Becky Hill and MNEK.
