Surprisingly, not him photographing sex workers (!) but he wants to hire a sex worker to photograph a portrait of him. I spoke to him on the phone today and gave him some basics about approaching sex workers and being mindful and that he should expect to be paying between $100-$250/hour for this. I asked him whether he'd thought about him being photographed nude since he was talking about sex workers being the only nude models in the past and he hadn't give that much thought but that he wasn't completely averse to the idea.

I am working on a project which investigates power dynamics within art history, as well as the roles of women, sex workers and the male gaze. Im looking to work with members of the sex trade industry, due to their frequent role in the western art canon. For this project I would like to hire someone who is/was an active member of the sex trade to shoot my portrait. I am unsure how to reach out safely to members of the sex trade industry and I was wondering if it would be possible to schedule a meeting with someone to advise me on the best way to do this.
