The transactions between me and the people that I photograph are very very collaborative.

What I'm good at is making art.

In fact, I don’t believe I’m guilty of any crimes, but I’ve always been drawn to and fascinated by physical, sexual, and psychological change, and there’s an erotic aspect to that.

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.

The truth is that from birth on we are, to one extent or another, a fairly sensual species.

Different members of different cultures will think that some things are beautiful.

There isn't a person alive who doesn't like being caressed.
