I love all the old pictures - of spanking and Bettie Page and corsets. But you can't do spanking in fashion, so I wanted to do a project where I could really let go and get girls who also love those things.

I love beautiful women. I love to show their personality, their sexuality. There's a fashion side to my erotic pictures: I love beautiful shoes and jewellery. But the erotic work I do is too daring and provocative for a fashion magazine. It's more fun, and if you have the right girl who likes it, more exciting, too. It's fashion photography, but with fewer clothes.

I don't stand behind the camera drooling. Knowing that, the models are more likely to open up and relax.

It’s a woman saying something secretive, something in her eyes that’s almost animalistic

It's good to shock. It's not good to always be careful. It's good to disturb a little.

I like to photograph anyone before they know what their best angles are.

I'm into capturing the moment. Sometimes, I'll rip the camera out of my assistant's hands and he'll be shouting, But there's no film in the camera! and I think, Never mind! Let's go.
