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.

My job as a portrait photographer is to seduce, amuse and entertain.

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

I like photographing women who appear to know something of life. I recently did a session with a great beauty, a movie star in in her thirties. I photographed her twice within three weeks and the second time I said: "You're much more beautiful today than you were three weeks ago." And she replied: "But I'm also three weeks older.

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

The photographs don't arouse me. All I can think about is the hard work it took to make them.

I have always avoided photographing in the studio. A woman does not spend her life sitting or standing in front of a seamless white paper background. Although it makes my life more complicated, I prefer to take my camera out into the street... and places that are out of bounds for photographers have always had a special attraction for me.
