Angus Stewart spent ten years backstage with London's burlesque community, getting to know the performers and documenting their shared world to create what he calls a family album.

“I discovered that while some performers earn a living from burlesque, most have other jobs — anything from seamstresses to doctors to company directors. This huge melting pot of professional experience, coupled with a variety of backgrounds, makes the community what it is.”

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
