Winner of the Grand Prix du Jury Photo at the Hyères Festival in 2017, Daragh Soden came to international recognition with his series Young Dubliners.
His latest series of portraits, Ladies & Gentlemen, raises questions around gender roles, photographer-subject relationships and performative expressions of identity. Daragh says: ‘I decided to play out my role in front of the camera, addressing the sometimes awkward relationship between the author and the subject. Like the individuals in drag, I both subvert and confirm the roles expected of me. Whether as an admirer, collaborator, narcissist or voyeur, I explore different dynamics with each sitting, ranging from alpha-male dominance to passive servitude’.
