Christopher Logan has re-released d.r.a.g, a coffee table book filled with photographs capturing the world’s most celebrated drag superstars by the industry’s leading photographers.
The new edition, with twenty never-before-seen images, features photos that represent a wide spectrum of drag icons, including Jeffree Star, shot by photographer Austin Young, Jimmy James as Marilyn Monroe by photographer Walter Melrose and Larry Edwards as Tina Turner by photographer Ninon Nguyen.
Logan’s own career in drag began in Hollywood and eventually landed him on the big screen, in the Nia Vardalos and Toni Collette drag comedy, Connie and Carla.
He said: “Early drag was campier. It was more about poking fun of iconic Hollywood divas. Today’s drag is more outrageous. They strive to be celebrities in their own right. As long as drag continues to push boundaries, I believe there is room for all varieties.”
“These are amazing performers, make up artists, stylists, and photographers. They are examples of how good drag can be when artists take the time to learn the craft and respect it.”
In the meantime, Logan is hard at work on the next book in his series, which will be a companion piece to d.r.a.g featuring the top burlesque stars. He is also in the early stages of planning a documentary on Polari to be filmed in London.
