Prostitution … we assume that much of the job description is easy to imagine but, unsurprisingly if you think about it, the majority of a road side prostitute’s working day is taken up with waiting patiently for the next customer.
Spanish photographer Txema Salvans documents the monotonous vigil of these women along the highways and byways of Spain’s Mediterranean coastline. As you might expect, many of the prostitutes were unlikely to have been happy with the idea of their photo being taken. To avoid any unnecessary run-ins, sneaky Salvans disguised himself as a land surveyor, complete with an assistant carrying a surveying pole. As a result he was able to photograph the ladies from anonymity, producing an intriguing series of images entitled The Waiting Game.
Salvan’s composition and style makes the prostitutes seem a natural part of the landscape, seeming at home on the routes where many truckers travel to avoid toll roads as they transport goods and produce between Spain and France.
