So, I'm taking a photography course at NESOP. It's called Photographing People. Hopefully it'll get me out of my shell a little, it'll help me improve my skills,and will generally just keep me on task. Plus it grants me dark room access. We had a pretty open assignment the first week - we were supposed to try and take a really good shot to pitch ourselves with. I decided to try and shoot the backstage of a drag club.

So I called a local drag club, and got permission, assuming the performers were okay with it. In the end, I got permission from the very friendly and helpful Kris Knievil, and shot her entire preparation. Crystal Crawford came along later, and I got one shot of her preparing - 2 of her performing.

The one I chose for class is above, but I enjoyed alot of them. So.. sorry for the overflow.

The end results are at the end of the photos under the cut. 2 for each performer.
