Beyond Drag
This series of portraits is a sister project to my documentary DRAG: Behind-The-Scenes. My primary aim was to create a series of intimate and highly detailed portraits of drag performers from all over the UK. Using a studio and large format camera, I strived to reveal something of the person behind the performance. But it was still important to acknowledge that drag was very much a part of each person, so having full make-up and costume was an integral part of the process and the subsequent portraits. Making these images, sharing intimate moments and conversations with such a remarkable group of diverse individuals has been life affirming and a genuine privilege.
