Damien Frost's photography works to capture a different aspect of London nightlife by focusing in on subjects from the underground club scene.
The project, called 'Night Flowers,' shows vibrant bearded drag queens, drag kings, sexual fantasies, eerie Gothic costume designs and more, making his content a true expression of self and liberation. By capturing real people in the underground London nightlife scene, Damien Frost exposes how people represent themselves in a place they feel free.
The elaborate costumes of the subjects work to show their individuality, with each dramatically different from the next. The photographer combines his work in a book titled 'Night Flowers: from avant-drag to extreme haute-couture,' which was released by Merrell Publishers.
