A Concept Review.

The book will be based around the meeting of a lesser-known Drag Queen who is the glamorous "Miss Julie Paid". I will photograph and interview Alfie, the creator of such a character. This will be presented as text alongside digitally manipulated photographs of Alfie getting ready before a performance which will capture his transformation from man to woman. Through interview, I hope to start to reveal who Alfie really is behind the make-up and lavish costumes, what led to him creating this persona and how he wants Miss Julie Paid to be perceived. I hope not only illustrate him as an interesting character, but to present what I have found out in a way that represents a whole genre in itself that is starting to disappear from the Cabaret scene.
