Skid Row is a very poor neighbourhood in LA. She accidentally discovered it when she was on a holiday and someone took her there. Skid Row is a dangerous neighbourhood so to really go in there and take pictures was not the most obvious thing to do. However, since she quit fashion photography, human living conditions had peeked her main interest. With someone who knew the neighbourhood well she went in and gradually fell in love with the people and the neighbourhood. Over the course of six years she took photo's there. All the time she kept asking herself if it was morally correct to make a book or do an exhibition on this work. In the end after receiving much advise she ended up making this book.
