"I have never been very comfortable with my body before, and have actually suffered from an eating disorder just a few years ago - I just recovered fully this year. So approaching a project that I had to be completely naked without the aid of any photoshopping or other concealment devices was terrifying! But once I got into it, very liberating. I think having the freedom to direct your own photos, and the creative control over what content is used is so important, particularly in the area of erotica and the display of the female form for titillation. I am bisexual, and currently in a lesbian relationship, and that to me was a really important turning point in the appreciation of the female body and the beauty of its sexuality - the appreciation and devotion to you and your body, rather than taking pleasure for the partner. I'd always been sceptical of erotic art and photography because it seemed generally so objectifying, so this project is so great to discover! I am always interested in trying out new things, and all the shoots I've done before have been very carefully planned and staged/etc, so doing something so loose and natural was very liberating - but also difficult! I got a bit stuck at one point because I was like...geez, how many more photos can I possibly take and surely no-one would be interested?? But it was fun to push through and just relax."
