Having a title of a celebrity figure, it was hard to to capture Amenda Lepore’s undivided attention, nevertheless I was able capture her during the most significant moments of the night and have a short chat with her after the event. Her birthday party was one of the most staggering events that I have attended. Mr. Black, one of New Yorks most discreet transgender night clubs was packed wall to wall with Amanda Lepore’s closest friends, photographers and herself sitting in the VIP section, behind the velvet ropes.
Usually transgenders are found amongst gay crowds in gay clubs. This even was different, or at least the crowd was. It was a very diverse and mixed crowd, which consisted of girls, gay and straight guys and transsexuals. Amongst the crowd were some of her closest friends, her photographers and people who belong to her community.
Even though she does not consider herself to be a transsexual, but rather just a female, she nevertheless is a figure everyone in that community looks up to. Because of her out of this world, extraordinary appearance she has attracted the worlds most renown photographers such as David LaChapelle. Jeremy Cost, a photographer whom I was fortunate enough to speak with told me that he has captured Amanda Lepores ever changing appearance as she underwent and still undergoes plastic surgeries on monthly bases. He claims that she is “ever changing and everlasting” because as her appearance incessantly changes over the years, she does not age.
A very close friend of hers, Anjela Muzzo, who is also a transvestite told me that Amanda Lepore was not just trying to become a female, but she was striving to look like no other human alive and she has accomplished just that. Her protoge was “Another version of Marilyn Monroe,” and according to her friend, she considers herself accomplished, both in terms of looks and importance. Marilyn Monroe will be always remembered as the beauty of the early nineteen twenties, perhaps Amanda Lepore will occupy the same position in the transgender community.
Great work. I saw a documentary about transexuals and a bit of it covered the part of the community that had the operation but regretted later on. Have you thought to maybe find someone like that?
The quality of these photos are really good, they’re clear and focused. It’d be great to see not only a before and after photo, but the process of transformation itself (ie: a man with half his face made up, applying makeup…)
Not only is this an extremely interesting subject but your photos really hit home. It’d be great to see more images and I think what the class said about having a before and after picture would really add a lot of depth to your project.
