BACKSTAGE

“Fascinated by New York City’s stripping underworld from a very young age, at 19 years old, photographer Yana Toyber found herself fully immersed within its culture. Nine years later, Yana has unearthed a series of incredibly candid images from her time working at a local strip club. Conceived as a zine, these lost relics tell a tale of fantasy, lust, and taboo. They provide unprecedented access to all that went on behind the scenes at New York’s strip clubs circa 1997.”
