See 10 striking photos of drag queens in 'half-drag'

8/8/2012

New York photographer Leland Bobbé created this unique portfolio of drag queens with half of their faces made up. The original portraits, posted in March, started a buzz that only intensified as Bobbé reached out via Facebook to other men for what he calls his "Half-Drag…A Different Kind of Beauty" series. Bobbé says his intention "is to capture both the male and the alter-ego female side of these subjects in one image." Maybe it's just us, but we can't stop looking at this lovely collection of  single-exposure photos.
