The photographer explained to The Business of Fashion: “People say that, but I just like to shoot girls having fun, girls who want to be beautiful and sexy … I consider myself a feminist; I was always a strong woman, always standing up for women’s rights. I like women who look like they have their life under control. But people do over do it and become so serious, it doesn’t mean you can’t still have fun.”
