Half man, half drag. The world of photos created by Leland Bobbé expresses with extraordinary insight humanity’s modernity as it crosses into the third millennium. It’s the Nietzschean “overman”: the man that goes beyond, who is beyond. Not male, not female, not biological.
Here’s what Bobbe himself says. "These images are part of an ongoing series of portraits of Drag Queens in half drag. With this series my intention is to capture both the male and the alter-ego female side of these subjects in one image. Through the power of hair and makeup these men are able to completely transform themselves and find their female side while simultaneously showing their male side. These are composed in camera and are not two separate images joined together. In my opinion these are not only beautifully photographs but the make up is impeccable and they are all gorgeous!
These are really beautiful images, really beautiful.
