-Goddesses of sex and light, fully owning their own bodies and sexuality with innate empowerment.- This is how photographer Elizabeth Waterman describes the female adult entertainers featured in Candyland, a series of colorful and vibrant portraits designed to capture the unique personalities of the subjects. The actresses were very much a part of the creative process, adding their own ideas to create playful images celebrating their individual beauty and charisma. Waterman-s previous book, Moneygame, an acclaimed photographic depiction of the world of strip clubs across the USA, inspired her to invite some of America-s leading porn stars to take part in a project which reflects them through a female lens, shot against vibrant, sunlit Southern Californian settings. -I liked showing them in deliciousness, excess, and fun and glory,- said Waterman. -The porn stars that I photographed were happy to be doing what they were doing, they loved having sex and they were good at it.-
