But what makes a good portrait of a drag queen? It's easy to get lost in all the glitz and glamor of drag, failing to appreciate the essence, diversity and power of who these artists are and what they really do. A good portrait, as German photographer Martin Schoeller (born 1968) shows in \u003ci\u003eDrag Queens\u003c\/i\u003e, captures more than a person's look, offering a glimpse into the subject's inner world, emotions, motivations and imagination. Much more than theatrical cross-dressing, drag is about the creation of a living spectacle that tells a story and reveals a version of self that might otherwise go unnoticed. In Schoeller's images, drag emerges as a form of dynamic portraiture that conveys all the possibilities of who we imagine ourselves to be, and allows us to live and share these stories--even if just for one night.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Schoeller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3958299075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783958299078\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Steidl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Martin Schoeller","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46024982561023,"sku":"9783958299078","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_59890bf5-43ca-4116-a464-a7a814873197.jpg?v=1723129687","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/martin-schoeller-martin-schoeller-9783958299078","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
