Drag Daughters

These images have been taken in Cape Town, South Africa as part of an ongoing project where I am documenting the strong drag culture that emanated historically in the townships amongst these communities. These young men are now becoming more accepted and empowered within contemporary society there, often having had to hide their identity in the past or having been rejected by their families. All of those who I photographed expressed how dressing up makes them feel much more confident within their individual skins, and how they are now striving to make a difference within the societies they grew up in.
