I say how did this guy get so big. These photos of poledancers aren't too bad chiefly because the spectacle and strain of these women suspending themselves or climbing the pole makes for superficially interesting images.

And poledancing seems an effective picture of contemporary sex as it involves such athletic effort, no pain, no gain.
They do not go beyond documentary photography and can justify no lofty claims. The folks at the opening, all overcareful casual or rich European girls, had their backs to their photos, perhaps not wishing to see their reflections in the mirror.
