Kate Orne

Kate-Orne.jpg
It's hard to image a more hostile working environment for a Western female photographer than a Pakistani brothel, and yet photographer Kate Orne has managed to make a series of compassionate even tender photographs in red light districts there. Powerful stuff.

Kate was selected as one of Jen Bekman's Hot Shots so if you happen to be in New York in August you will be able to see the work in person starting on August 23rd.

Wow.

Besides being simultaneously beautiful and terrible images, the text hits you over the head like a sledgehammer. Thanks for pointing this out. Yours is one of the few websites I read totally religiously and the one that provides the most brain and heart food.
