D'Scene Magazine NYC CITY DRAG 2025

Description

Captured by photographer Martin Gatti with creative direction by Jimi Urquiaga for D'Scene Magazine's NYC City Drag project, this full-length monochrome portrait features an elaborate drag performer posed dramatically against a dark seamless backdrop. The subject wears an ornate, textured robe with voluminous ribbed trim, intricate drapery, high-heeled pointed pumps, and a beaded headdress crowned with a tall feather plume. Presented with large-format sheet film borders, the composition uses directional studio lighting to emphasize rich textures, metallic sheens, and dramatic stage makeup.
