Roxy Diamond
I am currently working on a series about Drag Queens. Gender diversity is a theme I have been working on since I started being serious about photography. This time I am also really serious about the idea of publishing a book with material ranging from the 1970s up to 2018. My goal is to photograph at least a hundred Drag Queens, so [...]

Still the clip is very dear to me, because it was my second animation. Celebrating the clip’s 10th Anniversary I decided to do a remake based [...]
