Did you ever dream of capturing fabulous freaks in real time? Are you gagging to snap a shot of the shock, smiles and scowls of a provoked public? Do you burn for the chance to stroke the egos of drag divas and demons? Now is your chance with this street photography session with PEEK!

ABOUT PEEK!
“PEEK! is a project exploring the subversive power of drag as well as queer and trans hypervisibility in public space. By inserting Sinfluencer and The Meatbaby’s drag characters into ordinary life we supercharge the experience of having all eyes on us in our daily lives. In this series Elsa captures not only Status Queer’s outrageous queer expressions but also peeks back at the public, capturing incognito snapshots of our onlookers. Here powerful claiming the gaze meets admiration and admonition.”
