People say photographs don't lie, mine do.

I never wanted to be famous. I always wanted to take famous photographs.

I was always painting when I was a kid. But then when I handled a camera when I was 17, that was it for me. I loved photography. I would work 4 or 5 hours a day. It was like a calling.

My work is about making candy for the eyes. It's about grabbing your attention.

I like thinking about the fragility of the human flesh and our bodies - our decay and eventual death.

As an artist you have a choice. You can add more confusion and darkness to the world or you can shine a light, make a beauty.

I'm part of what I consider the entertainment industry. For my photos to be entertaining, they have to be provocative and new.
