On this episode of Queer Goggles, we sit down with acclaimed photographer Aaron Jay Young to discuss his book Queen, a stunning collection of portraits featuring some of the world’s most famous drag queens. Aaron shares insights from his time as a set photographer on RuPaul’s Drag Race, his personal journey of healing, and his approach to creating spaces where his subjects feel safe, seen, and free to express their authentic selves.
