g Nude No. 5
The original photograph was in sharp focus, but I used
Photoshop to blur it so that the image became surreal.
People expect nudes to be sharp and clear, but I wanted
to challenge that and make the viewer question what is
real and what is not.

e Laura
I asked Laura to lie on the floor and adopt some “painful”
poses. I let her move freely and kept shooting until I had
taken more than 20 rolls of film, moving with her. The
interaction between photographer and model sometimes
produces unexpected photographs.
