I’m very pleased to announce that my Half-Drag project has just been featured on the online version of Italian Vogue. Little did I know when I started this project that it would take on a life of it’s own. A special thanks to all of the great queens here in NYC that wanted to take part in this project. You guys/girls have been the best.

Half-Drag Around The World

Azraea © Leland Bobbé

This is the latest in My Half-Drag project of the amazing gender bending Azraea. In the past 3 weeks this project has taken off like wild fire across the internet on blogs and websites in the U.S., Brazil,  Canada, France, England, Japan, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Austria, Lithuania, and Italy and Israel. As a result my website has been inundated with visitors actually peaking at 17 thousand visitors last week. I was even contacted by Italian Vogue and they will be running 20 of my images on their online edition next week. Very exciting!

New Portraits – Maria Kreyn

These are my recent portraits of  the talented and equally beautiful artist Maria Kreyn. I met Maria through Facebook when she sent me a message after seeing a portrait I had done of her friend and fellow artist Jazz-minh Moore. After checking out her Facebook page and seeing her wonderful art and wonderful face I asked if she would be interested in a portrait session. We did one change of clothes and after editing decided to go with these two images together because of the way they complimented each other. Success!

Portrait – Pinky

I met Pinky last summer in upstate NY at a horse shoe throwing competition which he won. When he was finished I grabbed him and put him up against this dark brown wall which I thought really contrasted well with his pink “wardrobe”. This was shot in open shade with a silver reflector and juiced up a bit in Photoshop.
