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

I think that the obsession with technique is a male thing. Boy's toys. They love playing... I would rather search for a new model or location.

I love sexy, intelligent women. Sexiness is hard to define. Of course a woman can be beautiful, but I think it's something in the eyes. It's a woman saying something secretive, something in her eyes that's almost animalistic.

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.

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

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