"But when I really spent time there, I realised they were dancing for themselves, looking in the mirror the whole time."⁠ ⁠ In Adrienne Raquel’s new book, ONYX (published by @Damiani_books), readers are immersed in the sweat-soaked, neon-lit world of a Texas strip club. ⁠ ⁠ After being commissioned by @fotografiska.newyork the photographer began documenting performers at Houston’s famed Club Onyx – a space where dancers are encouraged to hone their own creative style, and empowered to negotiate whatever “stripping” personally means to them. ⁠ ⁠ Texas-born Raquel is primarily known for her editorial work, having created glossy, dream-like portraits of artists like @theestallion and @lilnasxand this latest project – although a thematic switch-up – retains many aspects of her signature style. ⁠ ⁠ Like her portraits, the emphasis is placed on the tensions between intimacy and illusion. The dancers are captured onstage, mid-movement, looking otherworldly under the dim, polychromatic lighting of the club. But we’re also invited behind the scenes. The goal is to display the “empowerment and inclusivity in strip clubs that society tends to ignore”.⁠ ⁠ Read more through the link in our bio 🔗⁠ ⁠ 📷 @adrienneraquel」5月28日 19時14分
