"Baby photographer, Maryann Koh, who is used to capturing the innocence, purity and well-defined genders of her subjects, sparks a personal interest to break away from gender-biasness by photographing “The Third Gender”, the Hijras (transgenders) in India."
Yes! After weeks of waiting and in the making, tonight will be the telecast of my episode on Channel Newsasia. I don't know what to expect as it will be my first time viewing the episode as well. I am hoping that in any small way, I have made a contribution to the Hijra community by raising awareness of the prejudice against them and may they live in a world without prejudice in the near future.
View the episode trailer.
View the opening sequence.
Do join me in my journey by tuning in at 830pm tonight :)

Hi,
I've always been reading your entries and was very happy to see your episode on CNA. I've always been interested in the Hijras as I've watched a documentary on them before. Anyway, I just wanted to drop you a comment just to let you know I enjoyed your feature and it did impact me tremendously. I do hope that there are many others who feel the same way as I do. I'm still a student and have always wanted to be a photojournalist. It's my ambition, so from looking at your photos on Asia Exposed, it really did convince me that photos can really tell a story and can be a tool to change social stigmas.
Thanks for the wonderful portrayal of the different side of life.
Wishing you all the best.
Regards,
E
