Scot Sothern (born 1949) is an American photographer and writer best known for his controversial black and white photographs of prostitutes in Southern California, whom he photographed from 1986 to 1990, and again in 2010 when he began photograph and writing about sex workers in Los Angeles Skid Row.[1][2][3][4] Sothern says the photographs are exposés, but they don't just expose the women in them, they expose the artist behind the camera. "They show that I am who they are."[5]
