59th College Photographer of the Year

From boingboing:

An online gallery of work from photographer Elyse Butler, documenting backstage life in Porn Valley. Some really incredible shots in here. So much "backstage on porn sets" photography approaches the industry with one of two unstated goals: glamorizing or maudlinizing. This work does neither, and it is all the more powerful as a result.

Image: "Porn Actress Nikki Hunter stretches in the dressing room before going out to do a re-enactment of a rape scene on a pool table. Hunter has been doing pornography for about two years and was a stripper previously for eight years. 'It's good money,' she says, 'Much better than just stripping... I'll make about a thousand just tonight.'"

Link, images are not porn but they're not worksafe either. (thanks, S, via jmcolberg)
