The double life of BDSM fans in the photo project "Day and Night"

On the left we see the standard image of representatives of the American middle class of both sexes enjoying everyday life, and on the right we suddenly discover that the same people have reincarnated into other roles, following night fantasies, and turned into dominatrix, bondage lovers, transvestites, swingers and furries.
These slightly shocking diptychs offer us a look at two facets of the same people: an easily accessible public image and a vulnerable sexual image. In stolen moments of intimacy, where the characters demonstrate almost tangible self-confidence, the gap between what is considered normal and abnormal is reduced to that white stripe that separates day and night photos. The author of the photo project seems to be asking the viewer to leave prejudices for the sake of a better understanding of various erotic preferences of people.
