Her interest is not in the sometimes exotic and sensational nature per se, but stems from a more holistic notion that society is defined as much by its margins as by the centre. Ultimately, her photos are always informed by humanist interest in portraying people – whateverย the circumstances in which they live their lives.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”artists-work”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”Gorgeous Drag” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”]

[vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”Moneygame” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Moneygame explores the world of strip clubs. Forย four years Elizabeth Waterman spent most of her Saturday nights in strip clubs, photographing and building a rapport with the dancers who make their livelihoods thereย capturing the girls climbing the pole, giving lap dances in the VIP section, putting on glittery outfits, and counting their dollars at the end of a long night.ย It is a considerable achievement that notwithstandingย – in fact, despite the locations Elizabeth Waterman avoids sexualised clichรฉs. Her images always capture individual women, who for whatever reason earn a living in the clubs.
The hardcover photobook ‘Moneygame’ย is available from Albumen Gallery. Follow moneygame to find out more.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]
