Liam Sharp splits his time shooting for editorial and commercial clients in Canada and the UK. Born in London, Liam moved to Toronto as a child and has leveraged his dual citizenship to build a career in both places. His new micro-site focuses on his series of drag queens taken backstage at various clubs in the village, during and after drag shows across Toronto.
