Central to Paul Kooiker's ongoing photographic project has been the location and examination of the female body in a variety of situations. Room Service is part of a series; Hunting and Fishing (1999), Showground (2004) and Seminar (2006) all produced in the same format and design and all somewhat fetishistic in nature. Kooiker uses several techniques; close-ups revealing the printer’s benday dots; over-flashing; blurring; and color saturations that give the nudes the ephemeral quality of found photographs.
