Identities

The project “Vitor Fernandes / Natasha Semmynova” was born from a proposal to photographically develop the theme Identities. I decided to photograph a Drag Queen known for its emblematic shows of gay nightlife in Porto (Moinho de Vento, Boys “R” Us Club, Pride Bar, among others), in an attempt to demonstrate that a person can have two identities, one without prejudice to the other, in order to demystify the stigma around a Drag Queen. Two months following Vitor's life allowed me to represent 24 hours of his daily routine. The images follow a linear sequential exposure, with the last one taking us back to the first, returning to the initial cycle.
