BOYS AND DRAG
Photos by BIRON

Photographer Biron's Boys and Drag is a limited first edition (100 copies) published in December 2007 and available from the photographer.  This 34 page 8.5"x11" hardcover book is printed on quality glossy paper.  This first edition is signed and numbered by the photographer and also contains one loose 8"x10" signed color print in a protective glassine envelope.

In his Preface, Biron states:
"This book is not a sociological study on cross dressing as the title might suggest. It is simply a selection of my photographs, taken over the past 15 years, of more than 30 multicultural boys who, as part of their photo shoots, modeled in my San Francisco studio wearing items of clothing usually associated with the female gender such as a floral kimono, a black sequined gown, fishnet stockings, stiletto heels, extravagant hats and turbans, colorful bracelets and necklaces, veils, furs, feather boas, jeweled and pearl beaded vests, a frilly organdy apron, silk slips and panties, saris and a pair of metallic shear tights. In short, all things one usually does not associate with boys.

I leave it entirely up to you, dear reader, to make of this playful, innocent experiment with drag what you will. But, be forewarned, your reaction may reveal more about you than it does about the photos themselves. Enjoy! "

Biron's multicultural male photographs, which attempt in their explicitness to blur artificial distinctions between art and pornography, have been exhibited at the Scott Nichols Gallery in San Francisco and at the Au Bonheur du Jour Gallery in Paris. His photographs have also appeared in three books by Janssen Verlag and several magazines internationally including aK, OG, blue, XY, Trikone and Frontiers.
