Valerie's biggest influences are things she loved as a child: outer space, gymnastics, skateboarding and the paintings of Dante Gabriel Rossetti.[1] She grew up in New York City, cut school to compete with her skateboard team, and eventually left for London, to take photographs.[1]
Valerie has published six books, each documenting the life of a different girl – from a Polish high school student in Brooklyn to a young teen gymnast training in Oklahoma. The latest, Amber Is For Caution, follows an ex-model studying to become a surgical technician in Kentucky.[1]
The magazine Nylon describes her work as “gritty, graphic and bullshit free.”[citation needed] Her celebrity shoots have included Lindsay Lohan, Scarlett Johansson, and her portrait of Sienna Miller which resides in the permanent collection of The National Portrait Gallery. She also takes pictures in the landscapes she loves; the American Midwest, Russia, Kentish Town and Coney Island.[1]
Her photographs have been exhibited from New York (New Museum, solo exhibitions 2002 and 2004), through Barcelona (Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art) and Tokyo (Laforet Museum) to the small mid-western town of Cherryvale, Kansas, and most recently London, at Lazarides Gallery.[1]
She is co-founder of the Cherryvale Skateboard Company, an art project.[1]
