A peek inside the world of webcam translators
Webcam performers have long maintained attention in the media as more women take agency of their bodies and business, but aspects of their world largely remain hidden, particularly the women supporting the performers behind the scene.
A very active market of this secret world of web-camming thrives in Novosibirsk, a Russian student city and 'temporary hub for young people'. However, amid language barriers with English-speaking clients, there's a little-known figure mediating the cam-girls and the clients: the translator.
