New Year, New Shows, New Style!
Who else can say they photographed a New Year's Drag Show? 🎆🎆🎆

Shooting for Apocalypse in Glitz was such a treat, and it was great seeing new performers and familiar favorites!

We're not going anywhere 💪

A masculine belly-dancing performer with a large, sheer piece of fabric fluttering behind them.

A performer sitting powerfully on a chair in a sweater, a shirt, lace stockings, and dress shoes tied at the ankles. They are lit from above and casually glance off the side away from the camera.

A performer is dramatically lip-singing. Their mouth is wide open and their eyes are shut. They wear a sparkling, pink leotard decorated with a design of a face on the front. Their stomach has a mouth with dripping lipstick and two large eyes are on their chest. They have two large puffs of fur on their shoulders and their hair is voluminous and slicked back.

A group of drag performers are gathered together on stage, smiling towards the camera. Each one is uniquely dressed for their stage persona.

One thing about me is that shooting drag is a number one love. This photo of drag superstar Viper Fengz is the reason. If you want drag photos with movement, power and emotion, book me pls. I will make you look like the force of nature that you are. ❤️‍🔥

Whether you’re single, taken, or just here for the drama, one thing’s for sure—drag is love, drag is art, and drag is POWER!

I need to get better at posting the things I do whether that’s art, photography, or just life stuff.

So here are some #Drag moments I’ve had the pleasure of capturing this past Summer/Fall.

#DragPhotography | #DragPerformance | #Queer

A picture of a performer in drag. They are facing away from the camera and are shirtless so only their back is exposed and lit by a spotlight. They are tipping a blue hat covered in patriotic stars. Their hair is a similarly patriotic shade of red. The space around them is dark except for a single, blurred dollar bill that falls beside them.

A drag / burlesque performer sits with a wide stance on a small chair. They are a feminine performer lit with purple and green lights. They stare directly into the camera with a piercing gaze decorated with green and black eye makeup and a dark lipstick.

They have their hands rested on their spread legs and display a powerful stance.

Their clothes are dark, featuring lace in the high-waisted that cut off at the performer’s navel and a leather tube top. The top has strips of leather connected to the top that hang around the performer’s neck like a spider web.

A masculine drag king is dimly lit by red lights in a dark room. He wears mechanical goggles over his eyes that are decorated with cogs and intricate lenses. He has a leather jacket on and leather gloves to protect his body and hands from sparks as they fly across the image.

He holds a small hand saw and a leather bar together to emit bright sparks.

A masculine drag king is seated on stage in front of a small coffee table dressed to look like an office desk. He’s dressed in a pinstripe suit, a salmon pink tie, and a pair of rectangular glasses. His hair is short but features some longer bangs that part in the middle and fall just below his glasses.

He is holding a cup of coffee in one hand and aggressively taps into a calculator with the other.

#Drag photography always produces some amazing shots, but shooting at Metro for the closing party of Pride Bowl made it even more special. The backlights provided some additional pops of color that I adored. Kara Mel D’Ville is stunning as always!
