Hi ladies! I'm a journalist (and former dancer) working on a story about club creepshots.
Have you ever found a picture of yourself online--a picture that was taken while you were dancing (or even naked) and that you didn't give permission for? Have you grabbed a cell phone out of someone's hand because they were being sneaky and trying to take your pics? Have you even had to threaten to sue or pay a lawyer to get your nude/nonconsenual photos taken down?
The story I'm writing compares strip club creepshots with new, emerging revenge porn laws that make it illegal in many states to take nude or sexualized images and share them without the subject's consent. I've heard from dancers in Portland about this phenomenon, and am looking for dancers in other places to talk to as well. Most of the dancers I've spoken with have found their pics on Instagram or Facebook, often by searching for the club in the location search.
Please respond here or with a DM if you are interested in being interviewed. The deadline is short, and I want to finish the piece this week if possible, so please get in touch now if you have a relevant story to share.
Pseudonyms or stage names are OK if you don't want your real name published.
Thanks!
