I

It was one of those rare opportunities that I get to photograph someone famous for Sweet Escape. When I knew that it was her that I’d photograph, I was a bit hesitant. I didn’t have any expectations really! Just the usual human defense mechanism of presuming that all famous people are prima donnas and a headache.

But Divine was different. She was talkative and made me feel right at home. No tinge of arrogance, but just pure warmth and kindness. She just gave birth but she already looked so fresh and fabulous. It’s not fair! I was a mess after I gave birth to my babies.

It has been my wish to visit a family’s home and photograph them in total chaos. Crumpled sheets. Evidence of a new baby. No fancy set-up but just the yummy REALNESS of it all.
