Behind Closed Doors: Capturing the Realities of Sex Work
This project endeavours to reveal the raw and deeply human stories of sex workers through evocative imagery, emphasizing their social and emotional experiences. It delves into the intense feelings and challenges they navigate while enduring a profession often plagued by stigma and mistreatment. Exploring themes of sexuality, social labels, and the complex motivations behind choosing this profession, the project seeks to foster empathy and understanding. Centring on Jhoana, a transsexual worker in London, it highlights not just survival but also empowerment and resilience. Each image serves as a testament to the human spirit's capacity to persevere amidst adversity, aiming to spark meaningful conversations and advocate for societal change towards more compassionate and equitable treatment of sex workers.
