Think this story is connected to an earlier one I posted on the blog, about a Chinese writer comparing the great photographer Noboyoshi Araki's photography of prostitution and mine. Being in the same sentence as Araki is a huge compliment, I have several of his books and admire his work greatly. The guy has like 150 plus photo books, I would be happy with just 1! Any publishers out there want to take a chance on a security guard with a good and hopeful heart?

如果说荒木经惟镜头底下的日本妓女是欢愉的，纵情的，集怪诞和鲜美于一体，有如人体做的刺身，挑战着感官世界的极限，那么加拿大摄影师Gerry Yaum镜头下的泰国妓女则彻底地卸下了这层情色的糖衣。她们僵硬地站在镜头面前，面无表情，身体的每一个部位像被超高精度的扫描仪仔细扫瞄过那样，毛发匕现，只差蒙上一层保鲜薄...

Here is the original story, mentioned above.
如果说荒木经惟镜头底下的日本妓女是欢愉的，纵情的，集怪诞和鲜美于一体，有如人体做的刺身，挑战着感官世界的极限，那么加拿大摄影师Gerry Yaum镜头下的泰国妓女则彻底地卸下了这层情色的糖衣。她们僵硬地站在镜头面前，面无表情，身体的每一个部位像被超高精度的扫描仪仔细扫瞄过那样，毛发匕现，只差蒙上一层保鲜薄膜，再印上黑白条码，便可出售。显然，Gerry Yaums作品抽离了人们对色情业的浪漫想像，妓女被最大限度地还原为商品，虽然非常残酷，但在某种程度上，却比荒木经惟的作品要更接近性产业的本质。
If the Japanese prostitutes under Arakawa's lens are happy, indulgent, gigantic and tasty, like human-made sashimi, challenging the limits of the sensory world, the Thai prostitute under Canadian photographer Gerry Yaum Completely removed this layer of erotic sugar coat. They stiffly stood in front of the camera, expressionless, every part of the body as carefully scanned by ultra-high-precision scanners so hair dagger, just missed a layer of freshness film, and then printed on black and white bar code, Can be sold. Obviously, the work of Gerry Yaums draws away from the romantic imagination of the sex industry. Prostitutes are reduced to commodities to the maximum extent. Although they are very cruel, they are, to a certain extent, closer to the nature of sex industry than those of Arashi .
