In 2004 Speers published Bordello.
This collection of over 50 sensual images was inspired by the French brothels of
the 1920s, a period of freedom, sexual decadence, and extravagant lifestyle. The
style of these images is reminiscent of the 20s but reconstructed from a
contemporary viewpoint, leaving only a thin yet timeless veil between reality
and fantasy.
