Nicky 25 Ladyboy Sex Worker, Thailand 2008

more from the series, a bed shot. Was not sure about the shadow, still not sure but before I left to make photographs I read Diane Arbus's book Revelations and hard shadows bothered me less and less.

Diane Arbus is my idol! She didn't worry about the technical aspects of her photographs. She just captured the essence of her subject which you have done quite well here...
 
thanks very much. I love the book Revelations put out by her family. You can read her diaries, her notebooks, see her contact sheets etc etc...a definate how to book of a great artist. I thought for years that she exploited the people she photographed but I do not feel that anymore she was able to capture an piece of humanity with her great portraits a honesty about the human condition.
