Moneygame

Moneygame explores the world of strip clubs. For 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 there 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. It is a considerable achievement that notwithstanding – in fact, despite the locations Elizabeth Waterman avoids sexualised clichés. Her images always capture individual women, who for whatever reason earn a living in the clubs.
