They self-published their photo-book, ‘People Like Us’; a 7 year project exploring trans, non-binary and GNC (gender non-conforming) identities & experience from AFAB (assigned female at birth) perspectives, in December 2024. A zine featuring a series of portraits & quotes from the project was commissioned by Shout Queer Arts Festival & published in 2020. Other notable projects include 'DARKROOM'; photo-booth installations at art & club events (2010-14), ‘Transformations’, photos made with performers reflecting the transition from drag to self in one long-exposure (2016), ‘David Hoyle: Parallel Universe’ photo-book (2017) & DARC (documentation action research collective 2016-19). Holly has made a significant contribution to the documentation of queer performance and its icons in London, creating a record of a specific movement & the community surrounding it, which is archived at Bishopsgate Institute.
