Liam Sharp’s Drag Queens portraits
These shots of drag queens by Toronto photographer Liam Sharp were taken backstage at various clubs in the village. Of the series, Sharp says: ‘I’m afraid to send them out. I don’t want to be known as the drag queen photographer. The dilemma of a commercial photographer’s struggle, especially in Canada, is that Canadians are so literal. Internationally, the depth and range of what is accepted is so much greater. It’s understood that it’s not me that these pictures represent. Rather, an interesting plot that is graphic and photographic’.

Boring still life objects turned into intriguing erotic images
Amsterdam-based photographers Blommers and Niels Schumm both studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam and started working together in 1998. They operate in a zone between fashion, art and photography, with shifting perspectives, where images move back and forth between different meanings. In this shoot for Baron Magazine, Blommers and Schumm made normal objects appear erotic. ‘It’s nice that people think they are perverts, looking at these boring still lifes,’ they say.

This is great pictures. Liam shouldn’t be afraid of sending them out to the public. Toronto seemed to be a very liberal city, if you ask me, and who’s scared of someone different? Keep on taking those pictures, Liam!
