Inspired by the nature of performance by the first ever photographic portraits, I chose to focus on the performance of gender inherent to drag culture. A happy accident happened in my first shoot though when I snapped a couple frames of the process of coming out of drag, which ended up becoming a new twist on the project.

It has progressed to include subjects spanning from Boston to Belgium, but simply begins with asking someone whom I run across on the street if I can take their picture. I have been pleasantly surprised by how the character of the subjects can stand so starkly against the white sheet, and how the context in which I found them occasionally snuck out from behind my makeshift studio. This project is ongoing.
