'Daniel The Stripper'

Male dancer and stripper Daniel Ambo prepares himself backstage for his performance in the MenX male erotic show during the ‘Sinners Ball’ at Gilligans nightclub in Cairns Australia - an image I made whilst working on the ’stills’ for a film entitled “Burlesque Blokes: Fighting for Recognition as a Male Erotic Performer in Australia”. The story tells of a Melbourne based male performance ‘Burlesque’ group MenXclusive as they strip and interact with their young seductively clad female audience. A fascinating insight into a contemporary sub-culture.
