Un fotografo sincero y autocrítico. Su modestia lo llevó a presentarse como un simple fotógrafo "comercial". Siéndolo, nunca se pretendió artista: Raoul Gradvohl

Netscape: UCR / CMP: Raoul Gradvohl Burlesque http://www.cmp.ucr.edu/site/exhibitions/gradvohl/intro4.html Saturday, June 29, 2002
Prior to occupying a space downtown, Gradvohl's studio was located at 1717 Vine Street, Studio 17, next to the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. His shift in location is perhaps the clearest indicator of his changing economic prospects. On Vine Street he had been "Raoul Gradvohl Theatrical Photographer," but by the time he had moved to his downtown studio he had changed the name simply to "Photos by Raoul," perhaps in an attempt to broaden his clientele. Of the many strippers and "specialty dancers" he photographed, a handful of names survive: Amy Archer; Belle Ayre; Misty Ayres; Patty Brooks; Debra Carter; Charmaine; Penny Cillin; Lily Charise; Vickie Dell; Extasy; Stacy Farell; Laurie La May - "Parisian Bombshell" a.k.a. Dorcella - "Daddy's Little Dream"; Lisa Lamont - "Mona Liza"; Loretta Miller; Mindy Martin; Taffey O'Neal; Sonia Sonic; Spanish Fly; and Laura Voulk. Although many of the names were stage names, a name at least begins to humanize such voiceless faces. Starlets, housewives, and burlesque dancers all passed before Gradvohl's lens.
