# Day-Lit Strip Club Captures Christopher Sturman Shoots NYC Stip Clubs in the Morning Light By Alyson Wyers | Published 2013-11-07 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyc-strip-club References: [designtaxi](http://designtaxi.com/news/361988/Fascinating-Photographs-Of-NYC-Strip-Clubs-With-The-Lights-On/) & [christophersturman](http://www.christophersturman.com/nyc-strip/) This illuminating [photographic series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) by Christopher Sturman depicts the NYC strip club scene with the lights turned on. This deconstructs the common association of exotic dance joints with [dimly lit and often sleazy atmospheres](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artifact-bar). The eye opening shots show not only the main stage with brass pole included, but [other seating areas and private lounges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/restaurant-and-lounge). 'NYC Strip' looks at a variety of NYC strip clubs where men are known to engage in their carnal desires by turning a lusty locale to a more depressing and grubby place. The stiletto-scratched wooden floors become visible as do the well-worn fabric of the chairs and furnishings in the audience. Sturman manages to convey a sense of being there amongst the debauchery and despair with these stunning shots. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Romance](https://www.trendhunter.com/romance) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Day-lit Experience:** Opportunities for strip clubs and other establishments to offer a unique experience by showcasing their venues during daytime hours. - **Deconstructing Perception:** Opportunities to challenge and change common stereotypes and biases associated with certain businesses or industries through alternative depictions. - **Exposure and Authenticity:** Opportunities to provide customers with a more transparent and authentic experience by showcasing behind-the-scenes aspects of businesses models and operations. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Strip Clubs:** Strip clubs can invest in enhancing the unique experience by offering day-lit opportunities, showcasing behind-the-scenes operations, and changing stereotypes associated with strip clubs. - **Entertainment:** Other entertainment industries such as nightclubs and theaters can also invest in day-lit experiences to showcase their venues and highlight authenticity. - **Photography:** Photographers can create unique projects that challenge common stereotypes associated with certain industries by capturing authentic behind-the-scenes shots. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Limited-Edition Nightclub Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-54.md) - [Late-Night Manhattan Lounges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starchild-rooftop.md) - [Subterranean Social Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/william-vale-hotel.md) - [Lightning-Inspired Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-light-shining.md) - [Signature Bright Red Nightclubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silencio-nyc.md) - [Moody Cocktail Bar Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-sun.md) - [Material-Exploring Industrial-Style Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrialstyle-lighting.md) - [Futuristic Totemic Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-relics.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md)
