taste way exciting
I am very attracted by bad taste-it is a lot more exciting than that supposed good taste which is nothing more than a standardized way of looking at things,
photography jobs portraits
My job as a portrait photographer is to seduce, amuse and entertain.
photography hate creative
I hate good taste. It's the worst thing that can happen to a creative person.
white car paper
It's that I don't like white paper backgrounds. A woman does not live in front of white paper. She lives on the street, in a motor car, in a hotel room.
photography art moving
The desire to discover, the desire to move, to capture the flavor, three concepts that describe the art of photography.
photography art dirty
There are two dirty words in photography, one is art, the other is good taste
photography inspiration moving
Photography is 10% inspiration and 90% moving furniture.
photography art dirty
Some people's photography is an art. Not mine. Art is a dirty word in photography. All this fine art crap is killing it already.
luxury
My women are always victorious.
photography intellectual looks
Look, I'm not an intellectual - I just take pictures.
photography fashion interesting
What I find interesting is working in a society with certain taboos and fashion photography is about that kind of society. To have taboos, then to get around them that is interesting.
photography art ideas
It began when I was so ill that there was a good chance of dying. I promised myself that if I survived I would never again pander to a magazine's requests or follow the ideas of art directors. I would only make images which were personal, which arose out of my own life.
white special doe
I have always avoided photographing in the studio. A woman does not spend her life sitting or standing in front of a seamless white paper background. Although it makes my life more complicated, I prefer to take my camera out into the street... and places that are out of bounds for photographers have always had a special attraction for me.
photography discipline challenges
The point of my photography has always been to challenge myself, to go a little further than my Germanic discipline and Teutonic nature would traditionally permit me to.
