Luna had the pleasure of having a conversation with Gerard H. Gaskin. He's an amazing photographer who has been photographing balls for the last 20 years. Finally his book, 'Legendary: Inside the Ballroom Scene' will be out later this year. About the photographer: Gerard H. Gaskin, a native of Trinidad and Tobago, earned a B.A. from Hunter College in 1994. As a freelance photographer based in Jersey City, New Jersey, his work has been widely published in such publications as the New York Times, Newsday, Black Enterprise, OneWorld, Teen People, Caribbean Beat, and DownBeat; other clientele include record companies Island, Sony, Def Jam, and Mercury.
His work has also been included in the books Committed to the Image: Contemporary Black Photographers (2001) and New York: A State of Mind (2000). Gaskin has received a New York Foundation for the Arts fellowship, a Center for Photography at Woodstock artist residency, and a Queens Council on the Arts Individual Artists Initiative Award.
Gaskin's photographs have been seen in solo and group exhibitions across the U.S. and abroad, including the Brooklyn Museum, Queens Museum of Art, and Black Magic Woman Festival in Amsterdam.

Vogue Nights - 1:1:13 Luna Show Edition
The Luna Show attended the first 2013 Vogue Knights party and it was hot. The children stormed for the $400 plus VOGUE category. The talent was amazing. In between the Voguing scenes you will see someone passionate about voguing and his thoughts about what was happening during the performance.
