I wanted to grow in terms of making pictures, not adapting to new software and technology. But that's the game now.

There are a lot of decisions to make, creatively. Now, with digital, you can really be the author of your own work. From the beginning to the end of the process, you control everything.

I never do pictures that I've done before - but I really try not to. Whenever I get an assignment I try to think how to shoot this person for this story in this magazine at this point in time.

A photographer is responsible for creating a climate in which they can do their best work.

Magazines don't have enough confidence to have their own style, so they use a borrowed style. That is shocking to me, but your perception is very accurate. It's a way to be more commercially viable, but to me, that's not having a style, that's having a schtick.

People aren't hiring just a picture, they're hiring someone they can work with. That plays a big role .

To me, style is like your fingerprint. Nobody else has it.
