JESSICA FERGUSON

Magnificent photo shoot, Jess, congrats on your first MAXIM cover. How do you feel?

I’m truly honoured. I feel so lucky to be part of a group of women who have graced the cover before, such as Margot Robbie and Candace Swanepoel, who are two of my favourite cover girls and role models and so many other inspirational, iconic women.

What did you love most about this shoot?

I grew up in the Hunter Valley, north of Sydney in NSW, and I spent a lot of time in the outdoors and near the ocean — this brought back so many wonderful memories. I love shooting
