"Collette"

Culling the archives

I continue to pour through the folders and files from the 90s and early aughts, editing reams of negatives, slides, and prints for the photo essay book I’m working on.

So many back stories to the images I come across!

This one is of “Colette”. She was the mistress of the website, “House of Wet Dreams”.

I started it in the late 90s. Creating an adult website, shooting content, and catering to fetishes was not a lifelong dream by any means. But often, when I turned to sex work back in those days, it was in response to a need for cash flow. Not quite desperate, but borderline.
