This are 5 Pictures of my series called Queens If you look closely, you told every detail of these images and a story reveals a lot about the person standing behind the character. This involves much more than sexual orientation. A kind of life, cohesion and depth. Each of these images carries a life story itself which is very exciting. Without words, these images tell stories about experiences, fates and joy. Despite This picture is a part of my Series called "Queens" “Tomaso Baldessarini’s body of work titled ‘Queens’ is an intimate and raw look at the identity and character of drag queens in Berlin, Germany. Baldessarini used a digital medium-format camera that captures a very large megapixel file, so that each and every detail in his subject’s portraits are easily seen. The portraits are honest and real, and tell a unique story about each one of these beautiful creatures.”.

Story

Identity is a much discussed topic in our society today. We feel in visual patterns that are subject to all sorts of prejudices. Travesty is for the people who operate it a kind of self-realization. But this is about much more than makeup and the right clothes. Travesty is a way of life for the people who operate them. Much more this is an abstraction of their own feelings and personality. Your fictional identities are an expression of personality, honesty and character.

If you look closely, you told every detail of these images and a story reveals a lot about the person standing behind the character. This involves much more than sexual orientation. A kind of life, cohesion and depth. Each of these images carries a life story itself which is very exciting. Without words, these images tell stories about experiences, fates and joy. Despite the panel you can see the true character behind the role. The role illustrates rather the actual person.

The pictures are not perfect because of the beautiful appearance to be broken, it is necessary to look behind the facade of being imaged. Therefore, these images were photographed on a 100-megapixel camera to visualize even the most detail. Equally it comes to show the people the way they are, with all their mistakes.
