Description

For D'Scene Magazine, 'NYC CITY DRAG' is a multifaceted editorial series that documents the theatricality and sculptural artistry of New York drag performance. Through the lens of photographer Martin Gatti and under the creative direction of Jimi Urquiaga, the project leans into high-contrast monochrome tones and the distinct aesthetic of large-format sheet film, complete with authentic rebate borders and notch codes. The work balances polished studio portraiture with gritty, low-key chiaroscuro lighting to elevate the performers' elaborate costumes, which range from Pierrot-inspired pierrot aesthetics to retro-glamorous silhouettes. Utilizing techniques such as multiple exposure, the series presents a tactile, layered exploration of performance art and fashion styling.
