beautiful sports football
I am very obsessed with ballet now because it is a very difficult sport and a beautiful one because it is not about money. It's not like playing football or tennis - dance has no sponsors, it's just for the beauty. Maybe it is the only last pure sport.
people giving lacking
There are people who give you the confidence that you're lacking and once you have confidence, you're free and finally you can let out what's inside of you.
moving high-heels giving
Always wear high heels. Yes, they give you power. you move differently, sit differently and even speak differently.
girl fashion thinking
I am not a good professional of fashion. I am not an expert about how clothes are constructed or the history of fashion. I never start with fashion. I always think of the girl and her personality - because all that matters to me when you look at a page is, "Do you want to be that girl?"
today too-much retouching
Today there is too much retouching, and I don't like it, except on me.
hate people bores
I hate people who over intellectualize. It bores me deeply.
attractive elegant
What a women reads makes her more attractive and more elegant than what she wears.
thinking long trying
I think that when you're taking pictures with my principles, you can try anything. Dare to do a lot of things - dare with sexuality, dare to break taboos as long as it remains photogenic. As long as I find an elegance and beauty in it, I am not afraid to tackle anything.
fashion extravagance needs
Fashion's about extravagance, and everyone needs a bit of that.
past looks imitation
Imitation always stinks. When I take photos, I don't go back. I don't look at the past. I'm always original.
ideas magazines paper
What I hope I would do is something new, but I still love print. I love to touch paper. I'm not sure if I will ever do a magazine again, but I have plenty of ideas on the subject.
believe hands needs
I believe in the Yves Saint Laurent woman who either has her hands in the pockets of her pantsuit or is holding her lover's hand. She doesn't need a bag.
charisma
Let the others have beauty. I've got the charisma.
taken thinking firsts
I think the first picture taken is often the best one.
