Powerful quote
• ‘I don’t like to follow the crowd.I like to seduce, with images that are at once disturbing and beautiful,but leaving a space for the viewer to enter my world.My portraits combine elements which evoke conflictingemotions that can surprise the viewer, telling a story that is somewherebetween fantasy and reality, the obvious and the unexpected.’

How Vee Speers inspires me
• Vee is a very daring photographer and isn’t scared to do what she wants in life, all of her photo’s are different and stand out from any other photographer I know.

Powerful quote #2• For one of your series, “Bordello,” what ideas or feelings did
you hope to evoke while photographing other members of your sex?
• First of all, respect was a big thing: beautiful, respectful, sensual. I think the feminine regard on another woman is quite different to the male regard, which maybe has more sexual tension because it’s a natural thing, isn’t it, male and female, whereas between women there is a lot of trust and relaxation. There’s not this need to pose or to please. This isn’t a criticism, but in men’s nude photographs of women there is this sexual regard that can be more straight forward, or more explicit. Rather than focusing on it being a nude, I looked at the poetry and nostalgia of it. I wanted to tell a story: I live in the Red Light district; I see prostitutes on the street every day.
