Quick Shots: Red Light District

Warning: NOT work appropriate!

I spent this evening in Amsterdam's infamous Red Light District learning about the life women sex workers live. Out of respect for the women, I didn't photograph them, but I did take some photographs to capture the symbols of their lives and work.

As a woman, this was a very emotional shoot - I wondered about the women standing in the windows and what led them to be there. I glared with suspicion at the pimps. And I asked myself how to best capture this range of emotions in photographs. Each photograph is captioned with more information.

Post your comments and let me know what these photographs leave you thinking about the RLD.
