One Man's Fantasy Is Another

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.

Anything Is An Art If You Do It At The Level Of An Art.

My Photographs Don't Go Below The Surface. They Don't Go Below Anything. They're Readings Of The Surface. I Have Great Faith In Surfaces. A Good One Is Full Of Clues.

Real People Move, They Bear With Them The Element Of Time. It Is This Fourth Dimension Of People That I Try To Capture In A Photograph.

When I Was A Boy, My Family Took Great Care With Our Snapshots. We Really Planned Them. We Made Compositions. We Posed In Front Of Expensive Cars, Homes, That Werent Ours. We Borrowed Dogs. Almost Every Family Picture Taken Of Us When I Was Young Had A Different Borrowed Dog In It.
