BEAUTIES OF TODAY
A series of forty eight portraits on 'neo' or ‘new’ burlesque photographed over four years (2007-11) at the Bethnal Green Working Mens Club in Bethnal Green, London. Neo burlesque has been described as a form of entertainment that is an exaggerated imitation or parody of striptease. It reflected the resurgence of this performance-based art that originated in the nineteenth century that had found a new twenty-first century audience of both men and women. It is also a study of photographic portraiture and the erotic pose.
