When I'm asked about my work, I try to explain that there is no mystery involved. It is work. But things happen all the time that are unexpected, uncontrolled, unexplainable, even magical. The work prepares you for that moment. Suddenly the clouds roll in and the soft light you longed for appears.

Sometimes I enjoy just photographing the surface because I think it can be as revealing as going to the heart of the matter.

All dancers are, by and large, a photographer's dream. They communicate with their bodies and they are trained to be completely responsive to a collaborative situation.

When I started working for Rolling Stone, I became very interested in journalism and thought maybe that's what I was doing, but it wasn't.

I didn't want to let women down. One of the stereotypes I see breaking is the idea of aging and older women not being beautiful.

My hope is that we continue to nurture the places that we love, but that we also look outside our immediate worlds.

A very subtle difference can make the picture or not.
