Connor Kitching- Sam, Harry and Me
Connor Kitching’s series Sam, Harry and Me is a documentary-style personal narrative consisting of three case studies revolving around drag and gender fluidity. Each profile displays a portrait in their natural state, the transformation, special items of clothing and photographs of each of the subjects in and out of drag within a public space, which incorporates a documentation of the public’s reaction. The series closes with editorial portraits of each of the subjects in drag. The aim of this project was to document individual styles of drag and the reactions of the public. Kitching found it easy to make assumptions, therefore to try to understand what it felt like to be in drag in a public area he also decided to include himself in the same situations as his other subjects in order to experience it first hand.
