Her latest photo series, <\/span><em><span>Stripper Edition<\/span><\/em><span>, is shot inside the strip club where she works, pulling back the curtain on the parts of the job audiences rarely see. <\/span><span>For all the differences between clubs, there is always the same emotional divide between the stage and the backstage. \u201cThe moment you cross the door of the locker room, you put on a mask,\u201d she continues. \u201cYour walk changes, your facial expressions shift, even your voice. You slip straight into work mode.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It\u2019s this world behind the door that becomes the focus of <\/span><em><span>Stripper Edition<\/span><\/em><span>, as the Paris-based photographer takes us inside the intimate, glitter-specked locker rooms of her local club. \u201cThe locker rooms are what stay with me the most. They have a smell you can\u2019t forget or find anywhere else. They look \u2018glamorous\u2019 at first glance, but they\u2019re full of years and years of stories from hundreds of girls. I\u2019ve found shoes covered in dust that must have been sitting there for years.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"2e3dddc1-df85-40a0-a4aa-b39f00a37f60\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1430\/1\/1431350.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"1.51\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"PARIS2024_WHISPER_Scarlett_LORIASHVILI_0_1\" class=\"img\" height=\"1989\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1431350.jpg\" width=\"3000\" title=\"1431350\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Photography Sofiya Loriashvili<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Within the shots, dancers appear in contorted stretches across sofas or leaning into mirrors. Some are caught mid-routine, some simply resting with their earphones in after a shift. It\u2019s an endurance that Loriashvili is drawn to. \u201cI like photographing dancers, contortionists, or just women, because behind all of it there\u2019s a level of work people can\u2019t imagine. A lot of men completely underestimate this job \u2013 they\u2019re often the same ones who end up overdrawn because they couldn\u2019t resist our skills.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Alongside the documentary images, Loriashvili shoots self-portraits at the end of each night \u2013 a ritual she\u2019s maintained since she started dancing. \u201cI think I need to see how I change. These photos are like a diary of my end-of-shift face \u2013 my looks, my makeup, my state,\u201d she explains. It\u2019s another layer of intimacy she adds to the work, one that has been met with a positive response from other dancers. She photographs colleagues she\u2019s known for years, women she changes next to nightly, people who understand instinctively what she\u2019s trying to document. Still, she admits there are performers she hasn\u2019t approached yet. \u201cThere are many dancers I would love to photograph and still don\u2019t dare ask.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"42f51d5e-63dc-46cc-8c59-b39f00a34c80\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1430\/1\/1431332.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"1.51\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Stripper Edition\" class=\"img\" height=\"1989\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1431332.jpg\" width=\"3000\" title=\"1431332\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Photography Sofiya Loriashvili<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>\u200b\u200bLoriashvili also turns her lens to the details that make up the life of the club: piles of mismatched Pleasers on the ground, half-drunk water bottles cluttering countertops, stickers peeling from locker doors. <\/span><span>Her photos also tap into her longstanding obsession with interiors. \u201cI grew up in Ukraine surrounded by apartments with pink or yellow walls, carpets hanging everywhere, and lacquered wooden furniture,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019m obsessed with flashy and even tacky d\u00e9cors \u2013 leopard print, pink, glitter, velvet.\u201d It\u2019s these obsessions that play out in the details of her work, both in her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/sofiya-loriashvili\">existing projects<\/a> and in <em>Stripper Edition<\/em>. \u201cPhotography has always helped me find my place and a reason to belong to things where I didn\u2019t feel legitimate. Stripping does the opposite: it forces me to stop thinking. It\u2019s a theatre where I only focus on my role. Both roles balance each other out and give me harmony.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>While this project sees the photographer take on the role as both a participant and an observer, it\u2019s a series that began almost accidentally. In her second year of photography school, Loriashvili was told she needed to complete an internship. \u201cI didn\u2019t want to spend that time in an office, and I\u2019d always wanted to dance \u2013 plus, I needed the money,\u201d she says. One trial shift turned into a job, then soon Loriashvili was enveloped into the world, as she handed in her internship report titled <em>How Stripping Helped Me Become a Better Photographer<\/em>. It\u2019s a space she\u2019s continued to document ever since, and one she has no intention of leaving. \u201cAs long as I keep dancing, I\u2019ll keep making pictures,\u201d she tells
