Tim Palen talks about Jennifer and her essay about gender pay

Tim Palen, author of photographs from ‘The Hunger Games’, spoke with The Hollywood Reporter lately. They also mentioned Jennifer:

The first Hunger Games established Jennifer Lawrence as a major star. What has been your experience watching her evolve?

She’s authentically familiar and funny and unaffected and the girl you want to be friends with. The first time I photographed her in North Carolina on the set of the first movie, no one knew that this was going to be a rocket. She asked me to play a joke on Josh [Hutcherson]. I’ve photographed her seven times and for every shoot, there was a moment when she did something completely crazy and spontaneous.

Did you read her essay about gender pay?

I did. I think she’s worth her weight in gold ? her specifically, but I’m not smart enough about such deals to know.
