Dutch photographer Mila van der Linden has a weakness for neon lights and societal taboos.

and her current series of strippers in Japanese"love hotels," one might think that Dutch photographer Mila van der Linden is preoccupied with the sex industry, although that's not exactly the case. Rather, she's interested in the taboos that surround specific sexual subjects that she finds intriguing, and she wants to break those taboos in her work.
Mila prefers to shoot in anonymous, discreet places — worlds that normally exist behind closed doors and which often lead to surprising new friendships. For example, she's built a close bond with the strippers of the Cheetahs strip club in LA, and befriended two young Japanese people whom she met in a store in Tokyo. She decided to photograph the couple in the city's"love hotels", where you can rent a room specifically designed for a few hours of fun.
Her method is spontaneous and impulsive. She often starts a conversation with a subject on the street, and most of the time there's an immediate click. This is what happened with the Japanese couple, when she decided to rent a room and have a photoshoot with them after a night out. The result is a beautiful, unpolished, and intimate series in a city that, according to her, is full of tangible sexual contradictions.
