The objectives of this documentary project would be to document the sex workers of Tucson, how they live, how they work. What they think of themselves. I will shoot this with my cannon 50d and most likely obscure faces or do something to protect anonymity. To exhibit the photos I will have 8x10s or perhaps larger prints. The access I would be able to get would be different on a person-to-person basis. However should I get permission I should have pretty good access to documenting bits of their lives. I would attempt to shoot them at their studios, and at home showing the pictures near each other to show the dichotomy.
The parts of this project are just interviewing different people and photographing them at work and at home. I have heard they have large sex worker get-togethers and might see if I can’t document that.
I should be dealing with getting permissions this week and from there on out be interviewing and photographing my subjects over the coming months, at regular intervals set up with them.
I feel if I do this project well I can show that sex workers aren’t people forced into the life but people who have chosen it as a profession, or at the very least give them more humanity than is afforded them in the general media.
Budgetwise, I only see gas and interview related fees(coffee, food, etc.) really shouldn’t cost too much besides printing twenty prints.
