Part of a series I did on sex workers in Thailand in 2007. I have a different version of this Mat photograph on my webpage and wanted to get some feedback on this version here.
Her name is Mat, actually photographed her again this year, a very nice friendly person. She had surgery since last year and has breasts now. I want to photograph her in her apartment next year.
In this image I can see an Avedon's influence, in a good sense, and an example of that documenting is about been witness and story telling, more than a specific technique or style. I say this because I consider Richard Avendon a great documentarist, even that he is more known for his fashion work.
yes Jose, I think your right Avedon did great Documentary work also, and in the end the work he did in that vain (In the American West) was the work he was proudest of.
