Photographers - E. J. Bellocq

6/4/2013

 
 Belloc was a photographer who worked in New Orleans. He is known for his work recording some of the seedier side of life. In particular the prostitutes who worked in Storyville, the red light district and also local opium dens of Chinatown. He worked using 8" x 10" glass negatives. His work was rescued many years after his death by Lee Friedlander.
