About ‘Love Hotels’:
This series is ongoing and was born out of curiosity. Arriving from London to São Paulo one of the things that caught my eye was the amount of those hotels populating the city.
I soon discovered that they were ‘Love Hotels’ where prostitutes took their clients.
Not having anything like this in the UK and seeming to be different from the Japanese Love Hotels – which from my understanding were originally created for couples who still lived at home with their extended family to have some privacy – I wanted to investigate.
