Persona Project: Exploration

For this project, I focused on the exploratory aspects of dressing in drag. I was inspired, and am continued to be inspired, by my friends, who, after coming to Oberlin, have gradually become more accepting of themselves, and their sexuality. In my photos I do not display before or after photos, nor photos near the end of the process of getting into drag. This is because my characters are just starting to experiment with drag, to explore their sexuality. I hope that the the delicate features of the photos in this project show tentativeness, yet eagerness to, well, explore.
