"My first assignment for VICE was to shoot the portrait of a pornstar."
Apolonia Lapiedra is Spain’s fastest rising porn star, but not long ago, she lived and worked in rural Spain picking fruit and vegetables. Her life took a very different turn after she met the infamous porn producer Ramiro Lapiedra, who is now her boyfriend.
In this episode of VICE Broadly Meets, we meet Apolonia during one of her shoots to talk about sex, fame and going your own way.
