2010 was the beginning of the first project close to my heart—Exotic Bodies In Motion, about the women of a strip club in upstate New York. And 2020 has me finishing Ezy Ryders, the second project I’ve had the chance to give everything to. It’s something special to be invited into people’s lives, and I’ll never take it for granted.
In 2014 & 2015, I photographed inside Times Square’s last live peep show. My nostalgia for gritty midtown New York, derived from watching 1970s classics like Midnight Cowboy, was tempered after spending countless nights on the third floor of the porn shop where the cubicle booths entertained a wide variety of customers. The sleaze and hustle still exist in a few corners of the Disneyfied Deuce.
Four years after photographing I decided to make a small book. Disguised behind an old pulp fiction cover, “Girl Under Glass” is a signed and numbered edition of 50, and it includes 23 photographs and accompanying text. To protect the privacy of the women photographed, this intimate book format is the only way the full series can be viewed.
