"Eden" (Eden, literally "Paradise") — the so-called project of a photographer from Mexico city, Alicia Faith.

In the words of Faith, their relationship with Eden extends far beyond conventional ideas about the relationship between the photographer and the hero of the shooting. The project is based on friendship, which grew stronger as soon as the girls spent the weekend together and trust each other their secrets. Eden wanted to become a exotic dancer, but began to engage in the provision of sexual services under the auspices of an experienced prostitute, nicknamed Baby ("Baby"). Of all the clients of Eden, only one agreed to be filmed on the condition that his face not be seen.

Vera got access not only to the intimate moments of the professional life of Eden, and snippets from your personal life and biography of the girl. After Baby sent Eden to work in Philadelphia and the surrounding area, Eden, was arrested three times. After the third time she could give a real prison term. A few days before the hearing Eden invited Faith in his childhood home in Lancaster, Virginia, where she finally told her mother what and in what situation, from a legal point of view. Faith was present during this serious conversation, struggling with a sense of terrible unease, to document these moments for Eden and for the sake of the project.

Eden is crying, telling the mother that is a prostitute. It was the first time they had discussed among themselves this profession.

Through the lens of Faith cruel uncertainty of life Eden softened by the tenderness of friendship. Adult and little Eden exist side by side, alternately eclipsing each other and working together in the pursuit of inner harmony. Like all young people, Eden is moving from stability to fragility, and her personality is constantly broken and restored.

Eden is on the roof of his mother's house and reminisces about the old days in Lancaster, thinking about what might go to jail.

When Faith and Eden went to the court hearing, the judge replaced the prison sentence to a fine of $ 600. That same evening, the girl went back to work, and the photographer accompanied her. For Eden, prostitution connected with the separation of sex from intimacy and has its difficulties. She acknowledges the work is legitimate, but also understand that this activity carries a risk of threat, which would not have happened if the government provided the workers in the sphere of sex services legal protection. After the project Eden returned to San Francisco, where for some time suspended operations.

Due to the atypical work schedule Eden often makes short breaks to sleep in the middle of the day to relax. Her cell phone is always at arm's length so as not to miss a call from a client.

Eden counts the money earned for four days. Due to the way in which was earned the money, she can't put them in the Bank and is forced to carry.

Sitting on the windowsill of the hotel room, Eden smokes a cigarette. This is the only time she sees sunlight, sometimes for days forced to stay in the room because of work. She doesn't like to work with natural lighting, she said that artificial light helps to create an intimate atmosphere.
