I got really lucky somehow, I emailed Vice a couple of old images and told them I wanted to work for them. Somehow I convinced them I could take a decent snap and they asked me to shoot a strip club for an upcoming article about NZ’s only female Strip Club owner by the wonderful Verity Johnson.
I obviously obliged and the pics you see here are the ones that didn’t quite make the cut, either because they didn’t really fit into the vibe of the article or because they were a little too risqué.
The night was sweaty and intimidating, meeting Verity at the club she told me that we were basically surrounded by pornographers and gangsters, so I wasn’t too enthused about pursuing my usual tactic of flashing my camera in unsuspecting peoples faces. Had she not told me that tid-bit of information I might have got some ballsier images but I might also have lost a finger so I’m glad she did.
Hopefully they ask me to shoot for them again sometime. Enjoy!
