These compositions created by Charlie White are purposely and beautifully simple. He captures from above the chest to the top of the model's heads only. He includes a white checkered background, focusing solely on the people in the composition.
What are the artist's conceptual and/or thematic intents?
The models White uses for these photographs are young teenagers and transgendered women. White's intent is to show that though quite different, these women are also extremely similar. They are both going through changes of becoming a woman, one through puberty and one through surgery/medicine.

How do you respond to these choices and intents?
Through these photographs, White makes me look at things a little different when it comes to the transgendered world. The same struggles that teenage girls go through from ages 12 to 16, transgendered women go through as well. It's just in a different way, and even in a more intense way. By doing this, White helps the viewer relate to these women going through all of these inner and outer changes. It creates a sense of empathy.
