I like photographing the people I love, the people I admire, the famous, and especially the infamous. My last infamous subject was the extreme right wing French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen.

They often ask me to shoot for them. But I say no. I think an old guy like me ought not take pages away from young photographers who need the exposure.

The desire to discover, the desire to move, to capture the flavor, three concepts that describe the art of photography.

Some people's photography is an art. Not mine. Art is a dirty word in photography. All this fine art crap is killing it already.

Genius and taste don't go together.

Photography is 10% inspiration and 90% moving furniture.

What I find interesting is working in a society with certain taboos and fashion photography is about that kind of society. To have taboos, then to get around them that is interesting.
