At the time of her birth her mother and father were aged 39 and 45, respectively, and not married; her mother Kathleen Balgley, a professor of English and writer described by Ratajkowski as a "feminist and intellectual",〔〔 was in London temporarily to teach under the Fulbright Program.〔 Kathleen had met Emily's father, John David "J. D." Ratajkowski, a painter and art teacher,〔 when they both taught at San Dieguito Academy in Encinitas, California, near San Diego.〔 The family settled in San Diego when Ratajkowski was five.〔 She was raised primarily in Encinitas in a small house near the ocean. Ratajkowski is of Polish, Irish, Polish Jewish, and German descent. Her father was raised Catholic while her mother was raised Jewish and teaches at the San Diego Jewish Academy.〔 Her mother formerly taught at California Polytechnic State University, known as Cal Poly.〔 When asked about her heritage in 2012, Ratajkowski answered "Polish Israeli", although she had not yet been to Israel. She lived in and traveled to many parts of Europe during her youth, and has described spending long periods in Bantry, County Cork, Ireland, and Mallorca, Spain.〔〔 From her early youth to the start of her career as a full-time model she spent each summer in Ireland.〔 She has said that she grew up without the influence of television. Before modeling, she tried soccer, acting and ballet.〔 Exposure to the nude female figure in photography and art during her formative years prepared Ratajkowski for her eventual nude and semi-nude appearances before the camera.〔 Ratajkowski said she is comfortable with the naked body due to her background and life experiences, stating "We have this culture of men, especially, watching pornography, but then () offended by a classic nude portrait or photograph, and I've never felt that way".〔 Her father's work as a visual artist exposed her to nudity in art. Ratajkowski also frequently visited nudist beaches during her youth in Europe; she said, "Mom was topless on the beach every summer in Majorca".〔 Among her influences was exposure to the photography of Helmut Newton and Herb Ritts in books.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Emily Ratajkowski」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
