Sex workers

In Chile, selling and buying sex is legal. The women I photographed were all from Colombia or Ecuador. Many immigrants are sex workers, as the minimum wage is too low for them to support their families.

This is a series of portraits of sex workers I encountered on the streets of Santiago in 2014.

Prostitution is legal in Chile and buying the service as well. Most of the people working in the business are from other countries such as Ecuador and Colombia. Some of them have family, even a husband and few months old baby she's still breastfeeding. This is a series of portraits of women working as prostitutes on the streets of Santiago.
