I was fortunate to be given a chance to document a slightly controversial topic in Taiwan - Betel nut beauties.

Photos shared here are shot with my Leica but there were also some work done on 4x5 largeformat. More pictures on my site and some write up if interested.
Film used is a mix of CineStill 400D and 800T. Lenses are Elmarit 24mm and Summilux 50mm pre-asph.

Very nice PJ. 

From you title I was expecting to see attractive women with teeth darkened by betel

Thanks. 'Betel nut beauty' refers to the ladies peddling the nuts. They used to wear more seductive clothing but there are now regulations in place to limit such activities.

I do have a couple photos of a patron with the dark/rotten teeth but thought it doesn't fit this series. Might include them in the future when I get to document more.

Nice series on your site. I had never heard of betel nuts, thank you for sharing. 

Thank you, they are a unique subject and the 'ladies' phenomenon are most likely unique to Taiwan.
