Top photographer Mario Testino has defended supermodel Kate Moss in the wake of her cocaine scandal.
Testino, who has worked with Moss since she was 15, said he had never seen her debauched or out of control.
And despite the fact Moss has checked herself into a rehab clinic in Arizona, Testino said she had no problems to sort out.
"I know Kate very well and I don't think she's at all tormented, torrid, depressed," he told the BBC Radio 4 Desert Island Discs programme.
"I have to say I'm not a witness to seeing her debauched or out of control. There is a moment when everyone wants to just lose that little bit of control. Who knows? Maybe that was her moment and we just happened to see that moment and all of a sudden we're judging out of 10 minutes the life of somebody and destroying it. I don't think life is so black and white."
Moss was caught on film allegedly snorting lines of cocaine in a London recording studio.
Testino said the model, who lost her contracts with Chanel, Burberry and H&M as a result of the scandal, has never been less than professional.
"Since 15 until today, she's never not been there on a shoot, never said to me, 'I'm tired, I don't want to work' - never. She works from eight in the morning 'till 12 at night if need be," he said.
