Romanian-born photographer Odeta Catana's project Guilty Pleasure is a collection of intimate portraits that show the guilty indulgences that we all keep — but probably won't admit.
Odeta started the project as a way to visually explore the idea of guilty pleasures and why certain things give us a feeling of guilt. To do this, she asked each of her subjects to confess their "guilty pleasure" for the camera.
