Last week I had the opportunity to photograph a rehearsal for “Boudoir of Horrors,” a show by the Laramie Burlesque Troupe. I’ve never been to a burlesque show before so to photograph one – including backstage preparation shots in the dressing room – was very interesting to say the least. It was somewhat surprising to me that the girls I photographed were very cool and didn’t seem to mind a dude in their dressing room with a camera.
