BuzzFeed News spoke to Raines about photographing his transition and how it has changed his life.

Why did you start taking selfies?

Jamie Raines: It was to see how testosterone can change the face, so if people come away seeing that it can make those changes then that's good. But also I just wanted something for me to document my transition. I thought I'd take a photo every day so when I strung it all together you could see the changes. Within the first six months you didn't see that much but as time went on it became more and more rewarding. So now I feel like I've been doing it for so long I just want to keep going, for maybe five years. I'm really happy I've done it.

When you started testosterone, could you imagine how your face would end up looking?

JR: When I first started I tried not to have an image in my mind – I was taking testosterone so I could go through the correct puberty for me – and I tried not to have expectations, because testosterone affects everyone differently and different changes come in at different points. Some people get loads of facial hair within the first six months, and some people never get it. I didn't pin too many hopes on T [testosterone] changing me drastically and just took the changes as they came.
