Color film studio portraits and pop-up gallery of Times Square performers stripped of their public personae, in and out of character.

I am asking for a BIG favor from all of you. Please reblog, forward to a friend, repost on websites, and tell a friend. Above all, pledge to my project!

If you are not already aware, there is a huge controversy in New York City surrounding performance artists and character performers in Times Square (particularly body painted women known as Des Nudas), and it is a battle the mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio has pushed to the front pages of every New York newspaper. You may have visited New York and seen them for yourself.

It is easy to watch the news locally here and not see past the facade these entertainers put up for the amusement of tourists and passer-bys. My goal in my project is to present the people who make up the small community of performance artists in Times Square in a neutral setting in-studio, in and out of character.

I am asking for all your help to make this project a reality! Signal boost please!
