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

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

I did find a wonderful girl last year, but the photographs that we did were more about motorcars.

...what I try to do is a good bad picture. I work it out very carefully, and then I do something that looks as if it went wrong.

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.

Genius and taste don't go together.

The point of my photography has always been to challenge myself, to go a little further than my Germanic discipline and Teutonic nature would traditionally permit me to.
