Deborah Anderson

Aroused was generally well received by critics, who note the film for the vulnerability of its subjects and compared Anderson's stylistic presentation to Annie Leibovitz and Michael Moore.

[5] She has worked as a vocalist on a number of projects, including work with DJ Krush ("Skin Against Skin" on 1997's Milight, released on Mo' Wax; later used on the TV series La Femme Nikita), Fallen Angels ("Blue Sky" on 1999's Part One), DJ Shadow, Zero 7, Le Tonne and Tipper (2000s "Dissolve (Out)" single, released on Fuel Records).

[5][15] Anderson has had her images published in magazines including Elle, GQ, Cosmopolitan, Architectural Digest, Hello, Harper's Bazaar, FHM, Playboy, Vogue and Vanity Fair.

[11] Anderson's second book of photography entitled Room 23, published in February 2009, featured Sharon Stone, George Clooney, Elton John, Minnie Driver, Dennis Hopper, Cindy Crawford, Heidi Klum, Norman Reedus, Gina Gershon, Sting, Lindsay Lohan, Larry King and others as models.

[22][23] Anderson was described by the Los Angeles Times as "a photographer whose distinctive sensuality is located somewhere between classic French erotica and Helmut Newton".

[24][6][25] Sixteen actresses were involved: Jesse Jane, Belladonna, Katsuni, Allie Haze, Kayden Kross, April O'Neil, Francesca Lé, Lisa Ann, Brooklyn Lee, Alexis Texas, Asphyxia Noir, Teagan Presley, Ash Hollywood, Tanya Tate, Lexi Belle and Misty Stone.

[24] The New York Times compared the film's cinematic style to an advertisement for Victoria's Secret, and wrote it would have been better as a television series similar to a combination of Taxicab Confessions and Red Shoe Diaries.

[28] She wanted to draw attention to a double standard in society regarding consumption of pornography while simultaneously stigmatizing the actresses that perform in the adult industry.

[33][34][35] A review of the film in the Los Angeles Times was critical, writing that it was only recommended for fans of Alexis Texas, Katsuni and Misty Stone.
