The Half-Drag Project

Laurie says:

Leland Bobbé‘s Half Drag project is a remarkable commentary on gender. It’s interesting because it’s an idea that could have been simply clever and possibly shocking, but the quality of the portraits makes it something far more profound and challenging. When I take a portrait I want to the work to have a sense of who the person is.  I feel that Bobbé’s portraits give the viewer that sense in complex ways.

He says that The.. Half -Drag project sprang from his work with Neo Burlesque. ‘My intention with Half-Drag is to capture both the male and the alter-ego female side of these subjects in one image.’

It’s really worth looking at the whole slide show.
