  1. Les Amies de Place Blanche

    In 1959, Swedish born photographer Christer Strömholm moved to the Parisian neighborhood of Pigalle, a red light district, where he befriended the trans community that had gathered there. The laws at the time punished landlords who allowed prostitutes to work on their premise with the forfeiture of their property. These women had little chance at a day job since the name on their ID card did not match their appearance. As a result they took to the streets at night ... and Strömholm joined them. His book was originally published in 1983.

  11. Lotten von Düben (1828–1915) was a Swedish amateur photographer known primarily for her photographs of Sami people taken during two trips, accompanying her husband Gustav, a medical doctor, on research expeditions. Each Lapp sitter posed for a front as well as a profile portrait … but they were not happy. Wrote Gustav: “Immediately on our arrival we had spoken to them about the photography, something they already knew about or quickly came to understand. Yet for a couple of days it was impossible to get them to sit for us, even though we made appointments + sent messengers to fetch them. We put this down to the customary tardiness and indecision of the Lapps, but later heard a different explanation. When we told them we wanted them to wear their festive attire, + that the old women should have their silver ornaments on … they grew wary + withdrew to discuss the matter. They were afraid that if they allowed themselves to be photographed in their costly apparel I would show the prints to the 'big chief' who would then realize … they were richer than they claimed to be, whereupon he would increase their taxes” #photography #amateurphotography #amateurphotographer #photographer #lottenvondüben #sami #samipeople #lapland #laplander #lapp #lappland #fotografia #fotografie #swedishphotographer #portrait #portraitphotographer #portraitphotography #womenphotographers #vintagephotography
