In my vocabulary there are two bad words: art and good taste.

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.

It began when I was so ill that there was a good chance of dying. I promised myself that if I survived I would never again pander to a magazine's requests or follow the ideas of art directors. I would only make images which were personal, which arose out of my own life.

I hate good taste. It's the worst thing that can happen to a creative person.

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

There are two dirty words in photography, one is art, the other is good taste

It's quite true that what I am aiming at, even when I take portraits, is to get a scandalous picture. I would love to be a paparazzo.
