Women's Wear Daily "British fashion and fine-art photographer renders fantastic candy colors and cinematic scenes as an absurd play on the roles that women inhabit in the drama of life. Though their moods seem playful at first, the panoply of objects and the disposition of the subjects suggest a darker stereotype: the female image sexualized and objectified in a world based on materialism and fashion."
