Kada: 1873 – 1949
John Ernest Joseph Bellocq (1873 – 1949) was a professional photographer who worked in New Orleans during the early 20th century. Bellocq is remembered for his haunting photographs of the prostitutes of Storyville, New Orleans' legalized red light district. These have inspired novels, poems and films.
All the photographs are portraits of women. Some are nude, some dressed, others posed as if acting a mysterious narrative. Many of the negatives were badly damaged, in part deliberately, which encouraged speculation. Many of the faces had been scraped out; whether this was done by Bellocq, his Jesuit priest brother who inherited them after E. J.'s death or someone else is unknown. Bellocq is the most likely candidate, since the damage was done while the emulsion was still wet. In a few photographs the women wore masks.
Visos fotografijose - merginos. Nuogos ir apsirengusios, pozuojančios itin skirtingomis pozomis ir skirtingose aplinkose merginos.
Kai kurios nuotraukos sugadintos - nutrinti merginų veidai. Tikslus to kaltininkas nėra žinomas, bet labiausiai tikėtina, kad taip pasielgė pats nuotraukų autorius.
Nuotraukose - itin skirtingos merginos. Nuo elegantiško aukštuomenės įvaizdžio, romantiškų suknelių, apsmukusių apatinukų iki visiškai nuogo kūno. Kol vienų veiduose žaidžia nerūpestinga šypsena, kitų atsispindi gyvenimiška patirtis ir nuovargis. Prieš gerą šimtmetį įamžintos seniausios profesijos atstovės - valiūkiškos ir savimi pasitikinčios, nebijančios provokuoti ir drąsios.
Panda skaudančia galva.
