As Christopher Logan compiled photos and worked with designer Mamio Marais to assemble his new book, d.r.a.g. ($30, Tectum Publishers) he thought he knew what he wanted, and he began contacting some of the country's hottest photographers. "Then photographers and performers would open my eyes to other choices I wasn't aware of. Mamio was instrumental in bringing the clean, unfussy look of the book together," Logan said. "When a particular photo caught my eye, I contacted that person." That includes some very unusual looking drag performers who are bucking the traditional high femme garb.
Check out more photos from the book on the following pages.
