Some of the people that I photographed as sticks became much more voluptuous, much rounder, in some cases dramatically so, and I think they're even more beautiful.

I will always admit immediately to what’s obvious, which is that homo sapiens is inherently erotic or sensual from birth.

Every child is going to grow up. You can see it happen in the books: They get older and older and belong to themselves to a greater and greater extent.

I'll go to do a shoot, I'll spend five or six hours at the beach with people, and when people think I'm all out of film, then they really relax and I get my good pictures.

But the truth is that Homo sapiens is a sensual species. I think all species are, to one degree or another.
