To Be An Artist, You Have To

The Pictures Have A Reality For Me That The People Don't. It Is Through The Photographs That I Know Them.

One Man's Fantasy Is Another Man's Job.

A Portrait Photographer Depends Upon Another Person To Complete His Picture. The Subject Imagined, Which In A Sense Is Me, Must Be Discovered In Someone Else Willing To Take Part In A Fiction He Cannot Possibly Know About.

There's Always Been A Separation Between Fashion And What I Call My 'deeper' Work. Fashion Is Where I Make My Living. I'm Not Knocking It. It's A Pleasure To Make A Living That Way. It's Pleasure And Then There's The Deeper Pleasure Of Doing My Portraits. It's Not Important What I Consider Myself To Be, But I Consider Myself To Be A Portrait Photographer.

Start With A Style And You Are In Chains, Start With An Idea And You Are Free.
