Our Interview with S < H E >? D E V E L O P E S
What is it like being a female in the arts industry? What have you overcome? As a female artist in the industry, one of the common experiences I have encountered were sexual propositions from men that were either my clients, business partners, models or other photographers. Being a strong character, I managed to avoid these situations, although some of them were quite manipulative and persistent. I find it very difficult for younger models to overcome them. They mainly think that compliance is required in order to pursue a career within the (fashion) industry. The problem is that the majority of women think they need to exercise their sexuality in order to progress in life or find a stable financial situation. I was lucky enough to be born into wealthy, caring and stable family, which gave me a strong mentality that never complied which such cultural constructs. One of the patterns I have noticed is that many men become photographers so that they can act as legitimate sexual predators. I consider that an abuse of a medium which gives me the reason to wake up every morning. We shouldn't admire and celebrate people just because they do impressive work. If someone is morally corrupt there is no common sense in further endorsing them.
