Txema Salvans - Caitlin


Txema Salvans, a Spanish photographer, spent six years photographing prostitutes on the side of secondary highways for his project The Waiting Game. Because the women would likely not want to be photographed, he pretended to be a surveyor, bringing an "assistant" and a pole along with him during shoots. I found his work interesting because the women are not the main focus of the photograph. The women are seen from far away and their faces are not shown. He gives his subjects a lot of space in these photos and you can gather a great deal of information about the situation because of this.
