"The quality of these photographs has the soft dawn glow and supple veracity which perfectly suits its subject. For once the lens has translated the young female nude into a sequence of exquisitely privileged cameos, free of the pin-up's plastic gloss, but with an unusual compassion, poetry and wit. It is a collection which, in quality and theme, is both ravishing and unexpected, where the camera dwells on glimpses of lyrical privacy stressed only by the mute clamour of the young girl's heart.
I find Innocence in the Mirror to be a study of almost frightening vulnerability, touching in its innocence and oblique eroticism. It is also a series of photographs of delicacy and tenderness such as I believe has not been gathered before." - Laurie Lee in the introduction.
