quote ["When you cover someone in the honey, it has the effect of making them look like they’re in amber—that they’re preserved," Little says. "And that’s how I came up with the idea and started calling the pictures the preservation photographs"].

Whores & Madonnas by Peter Schafer

"Whores & Madonnas contrasts quite a lot to other photo essays on prostitutes, where the viewer becomes a voyeur to a degraded yet exotic existence" ...Peter Brian Schafer Brooklyn based photographer).

quote [I began this project in the fall of 2012, having read Denise Brennan's book, What’s Love Got to Do With It?, an ethnography of sex workers in a small resort town on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. Built upon global inequity, Sosúa is paradoxically a place where women exert much agency and control over their lives. The stories Brennan tells of the women who move to Sosúa to pursue sex work – mostly internal migrants from Santo Domingo – paint a picture not of passive victims of circumstance but of women pragmatically carrying out plans to improve their lives and the lives of their children.
The first half of the series portrays the women at work, inhabiting their professional personas, projecting the promise of sex. Over time, they spoke with me about their lives outside work, how they arrived in Sosúa, their weekly routine of sending remittances home to support their children. As I got to know two of the women better, they gave me access to their everyday lives – their non-performance time – and I photographed them where they lived and out and about during their off-hours].

Through the Window by Maria Jose Garcia Piaggio

In Maria Jose Garcia Piaggio’s Through the Window, she appropriates found images as part of her investigation about cybersex.
quote [Through the Window is devided into two parts, one part is men looking though free portals and the other side is women that offer live shows where you have to pay to participate. Is a project of accumulation and appropiation of images. I want to be able to show this scenarios that we all know are there but we keep hidden, deconstructing it from the virtual context and taking it to other scenaries to show this two groups to the expectator. I’m interested to show the construction of the body language this women have in front of the camera to be liked and atract the expectator].

Men and dolls by Benita Marcussen

quote [Copenhagen-based photojournalist Benita Marcussen contacted several sex doll enthusiasts through an online forum and convinced them to let her photograph them with their prized possessions]. The complete photo gallery.
"The men featured care about their dolls and treat them with respect like dear friends," Marcussen wrote in a statement sent to The Huffington Post. "They care for them like material things with a little more presence and personality".
"They agree to have their picture taken because they feel that there is more to the story than the regular ‘man owns a sex doll’ - even though most still choose to be anonymous," Marcussen said. "The majority of the doll owners stay completely out of anything that has to do with media as they feel society often misunderstand and it does affect them, naturally".

With Cybersex, danish photographer Arko Datto documents women and men engaged in the virtual prostitution industry. (Cybersex gallery).
quote [Moving beyond the traditional use of a physical camera for social documentary work, I have used screenshots using a virtual camera to document moments in between paid sexual performances when they are on public view, searching for new clients. My aim with photography is two-fold. I want to push the boundaries of photography, question what it means to be a photographer in the digital age while simultaneously playing the role of observer and commentator on critical contemporary social issues".
