Here are some 10 year old colour shots from the bargirl series I did in 2003, these were all shot using direct flash with a 35mm Contax G2 and Agfa Optima (remember that film!). These portraits were made as part of a series of sex workers in the short time rooms where they took their customers. I just scanned the pics yesterday while doing the other new b/w scans, these negs were long forgotten and had been sitting in a box for many years. The world these women live in is very harsh but they possessed a strength, an honesty and a beauty that I will never forgot, I was lucky to have the opportunity to photograph them.
