When photographer and creative director Adrienne Raquel set out to document strippers, the Houston native set her lens on the city's famed Club Onyx.
The intention of photographing the upscale Black club (shot to look "like a 1990s Hype Williams video") was to "grant the chance for these performers to be as elevated as the culture they influence."
The photos were shown in Raquel's first solo exhibition, at New York's Fotografiska in 2021, and have now been compiled into the book "ONYX," published by Damiani.
