Queen, the Book by Aaron Jay Young

A Little About Queen

The world of drag has existed for centuries. Many have merely refused to pay it any attention. Until now.

Marking the culmination of over four years of work, Aaron Jay Young's Queen captures the beauty, elegance, and humor of some of the drag community's most prominent performers. Shangela, Bob, Trixie, Gigi, Sasha and over one hundred Queens are featured in portraits that unequivocally encapsulate the diverse and inclusive nature of the art of drag. Each photograph is an individually stunning event that captures a unique, exclusive moment in drag history. United together in a visually intriguing collection set against a blue-gray backdrop, with each release of the shutter, Young generates a tangible footprint of both himself and his subject. He creates an imprint that highlights the fun, elaborate, and remarkable personalities that entertain and inspire us all. The world is only beginning to recognize the amount of incredible talent the drag family possesses. Grab a seat and a drink, and celebrate some of the most notable and influential personalities in the business today.
