I became interested in photographing exotic dancers and peep show performers after moving to an apartment building adjacent to a strip club. As a former Women's Studies major, I thought I was firm in my white, middle-class "feminist" belief that stripping is degrading, and that guys who go to strip clubs are inherently disrespecting women. But seeing these girls and their customers on a daily basis challenged me to reconsider why a woman might choose to take off her clothes for money.
