A staged yet documentary-style photograph captures Eddie Anderson, a young man from Houston, Texas, whose participation was compensated for with twenty dollars. DiCorcia masterfully blurs the boundary between fiction and reality, using cinematic lighting to transform an everyday street encounter into a dramatically illuminated tableau. The work is part of DiCorcia's seminal *Hustlers* series, in which the artist hired male sex workers as subjects, embedding themes of commerce, vulnerability, and performance within a deceptively composed image.
