of images are devoted to transgender burlesque performer Barbara Lemay and depict her dressed in full costume.

Daniel D. Teoli, Jr., was a native of Los Angeles and a self-taught photographer. His career encompassed a variety of photographic
styles and subjects—from black-and-white portraits and documentation of street life in Los Angeles in the 1970s and 1980s
to self-described "social documentary" and high-dynamic-range color portraiture. Teoli lost a major portion of his archived
work dating from the 1980s and 1990s in a flood, but his earlier work was spared, and in 2013, he released a hand-printed
artist's book titled
Peephole: Peering Into the World of 1970s Hollywood and L.A.. Inspired by the works of a diverse range of photographers, including Lisette Model, Les Krims, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and
Mary Ellen Mark, Teoli's fantastical yet hyper-real imagery is a reflection of his colorful human subjects and the statement
"photographers are always looking," which he uses in reference to his own work. His works are in over 30 permanent collections
around the world, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Mead Art Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, and Shanghai
Duolun Museum of Modern Art. As of 2015 Teoli resides in West Virginia.
