Dillon Peter Marz

Dillon was born female, raised by loving parents, along with his loving grandma who became blind due to old age. From an early age, Dillon never felt 'feminine' and disliked many of the girls' toys and dresses that his parents often bought him. When he started going to kindergarten he would tell his teachers and classmates that he's a boy, which confused everyone. At first, everyone assumed he was playing around, including his parents and all would just play along and call him a boy. He would wear more pants and shirts that are for boys and even asked his mom to cut his hair at a boy's length, to which she did. However, when he got older and still referred to himself as a guy, that's when his parents started to grow concerned. Around elementary, he started to go through gender dysphoria. People who kept calling him a girl and using female pronouns often bothered him or made him uncomfortable. It was then that he confessed to his parents that he wants to transition into a man. They were a bit shocked at first, but they gave their support to him and offered to pay for his transitioning process.

During his high school years he started going by the name 'Dillon' and asked people to refer to him by that name. He also started taking medication to start his transitioning process. One day, he found an old camera in the attic of his house. He learned how to use it and started taking pictures of different places. He developed a fascination for photography and started to learn to take nice photos and even learn how to edit photos which encouraged him to join the photography club, and took extra classes to teach him on how to edit photos and videos. After graduating from high school, he saved up to get top surgery to feel less dysphoric. Then after healing from the top surgery, he saves up again to get bottom surgery.

After high school graduation, Dillon went to work as a photographer. He started off as a freelancer, taking photos of people's requests such as group family photos or getting asked to edit photos or videos. He started making a portfolio where he can get hired to a possibly more professional photography job, since his freelance work doesn't pay much. It wasn't long until he was hired by a studio that asks Dillon to take photos of models for advertisements, to which he accepts. As a side job, he became friends with a group that wants to become a band and he often goes to their concerts to take photos of them to help advertise their band.
