Renowned photographer Hans van der kamp has been photographing mistresses, drag kings, drag queens, burlesque performers, and everything in the wonderful world of fetish, kink and physical expression since the 1970s.
Personally, I really like the series 21st Century Madonnas because in it he plays with religious symbols, humor, female power, vulnerability and sexuality. Precisely because religion is often used to suppress female sexuality and female power, the images work so strongly. In a humorous way, he shows that we can be more than the calibrated archetypes of mother, whore or virgin.
