SeenyaRita (77 months ago | reply)
great shot! it came out so clearly. she doesn't seem to mind you're taking her photo. i like the stockings!
all i got in the red-light district were some blurred red photos. i didn't have the nerve to shoot the girls.
fotogail (77 months ago | reply)
the shadowy pedestrians contrasted with the self-consciously displayed, almost mannequin-like, real live woman ...
eery and compelling.

Amsterdam is a strange and wonderful place. You've captured some of its charm in this. Well done! Did you she charge you for the snapshot?

This is the most interesting photo on Flickr with the tag 'amsterdam'. Please consider adding it to The Interestingest! group.

Some people only think of this when they hear amsterdam. In other lands you hockers too, but we just don't put them on the street :P :P
David Cohen de Lara (68 months ago | reply)
As an Amsterdam local, I'd just like to point out that in general, the girls do NOT like having their pictures taken. You can expect to get harrased or worse. Which personally I think is understandable.
That said, from a photographer's point of view: Nice shot!

you're lucky to have gotten this shot!
Immagina (67 months ago | reply)
Wow!!! he girl is nice but I think this is a little bit clichè.

Great Shot and great Balls of Fire you got my dear Brunocerous, to dare taking a Shot of one of the Ladies :) !
I've actually seen a little Girl getting beaten up by a Hooker for taking her Picture, and then she threw her Cam into the Canal! Not a pretty Sight I can tell you, the poor little Girl was shocked to Death as the Lady came running from her Window and started slapping her around, I guess she just didn't see the Stickers that most Windows have, with a crossed out Camera on them :( !
I don't think she'll ever come back to Amsterdam, even though our lovely City is sooo much more then Red Lights, Coffeeshops and all those other Things we're so famous for :) !

I heard you can get your butt kicked for taking pictures in the red light district... pretty sneaky....
KDPfotos (61 months ago | reply)
This is an excellent photo. Not to mention that you're pretty ballsy too. Good job though!

Did her pimp beat you up?
CGAphoto (58 months ago | reply)
prostitutes and all, i love that city! Great shot, but most of all big guts. The red light district is not the place to take your camera out.
C.e.r.e.z.a (58 months ago | reply)
hum, isn't it forbidden? hum , i took no pictures at night, 'cos the girls are not specially friendly to let you break the rules

I have seen worse things when people try to make pictures like this. Warning for everybody.
How ever. It is a very beautyful capture!!
