Inside the Burlesque Boudoir: An Intimate Study in Photography

Between 2005 to 2007 the international documentary photographer Debby Besford researched and photographed a complexity of issues around the representation of the contemporary female, with emphasis on the Burlesque Stage Performer.This led onto further creative intrigue and a questioning of the idea of play between photographer, private space, intimacy, fantasy and the real, and the mystique of the performer.This particular body of work evolved from a deep-rooted curiosity about female sexuality, and how it can be expressed and represented in a positive and more complex way.
