Divas of San Francisco: Portraits of Transsexual Women
David Steinberg is known for vividly depicting of all types of people without resorting to sensationalism, and this latest collection is no exception. Divas of San Francisco: Portraits of Transsexual Women contains 59 portraits of the women who frequent the Divas Nightclub in San Francisco. Far from being headshot after headshot of your stereotypical campy drag queen, these women vary in age, race and body type in photographs ranging from reserved to sexy to casual. Steinberg captures something of the personality of each woman through the intensity of their gaze, creating a personal connection with the viewer. Allowing a glimpse into a world that few of us know much about, he helps demystify transsexual culture and presents these women as the normal, everyday people that they are.
