Particularly known for his depictions of transgender women in 1950s Paris, as well as his co-founding of Fotoskolan (Stockholm School of Photography), where he served as principal between 1962 and 1972, Christer Strömholm (b. 1918, d. 2002, Swedish) carried out a number of photographic journeys during the first half of the 1960s; many of which images have not yet been shown.

The photographs were taken in Los Angeles, 1963 and in New York, 1965. The scans for this publication were made from Strömholm’s glossy Agfa Brovira vintage prints that were both created and forgotten in the mid-60s.
