## Resource

In this episode, Tim Bingham speaks with documentary and portrait photographer Danielle Fitzgerald, whose work offers an intimate, humanising look at strip clubs, people who work in the adult industry, and the private spaces where performance falls away. Throughout the conversation, Danielle describes how her first major project emerged from a desire to photograph people not in the heightened atmosphere of performance, but in the quieter, more revealing spaces behind the scenes. A central thread in the episode is Danielle’s deeply collaborative and ethically grounded methodology. She incorporates first‑person captions to ensure that the work speaks with the people involved rather than about them. Danielle’s years in social work shape every aspect of her creative practice. She brings a non‑judgmental mindset, a people‑first philosophy, and a capacity to hold complex disclosures without absorbing emotional weight. These skills allow her to navigate sensitive stories with care and to build trust with individuals who are often misrepresented . She speaks about wanting her work to shift public narratives around sex work by showing the full texture of people’s lives — their routines, their humour, their contradictions, and their humanity.
