New Photos from the 2009 Sex Worker Series. Shot another 31 people over 28 photo sessions last month these are some of the first developed and scanned. Any comments are welcome thanks for your help.
Are these shot in a studio? I think taking the environment away has weakened them somewhat compared to the earlier series. Very well shot and lit, but I am not sure if the purpose is portraits or something more documentary. I admire your commitment to this project. Rgds, Kal
Thanks Kal, yes shot in my apartment studio when I was in Thailand. White background 4 speedotron flash units, 2 large softboxes on subject. I think I might agree with you, I believe after this years shoot I am a bit burnt out with the whole sex worker portrait stuff. I plan on going more enviromental portraiture next year and am planning a project called KHON THAI (The Thai people). The photographs will be enviromental portraits of people from throughout Thai society shot with a 4x5 rangefinder camera (at least thats the thinking now, might change my mind tomorrow!) If things work out might spend years on this project shooting a variety of subjects within Thailand.
