“Naomi With Raised Arms”

Herb Ritts (1988)

I remember this poster in the house (not this exact one in the photo) when I was really young, around 1989. My mum introduced me to photography and art really early – since I was three in fact, and it’s definitely had an influence on the way I draw women today.

At the time I wasn’t sure if I was allowed to even look at it. I knew what “right” and “wrong” was very early, but I was allowed to think for myself – and learn that there was nothing wrong with this photo at all.
