It's really, really hard to make it as a fine-art photographer exclusively.

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.

We live in an age where anonymity is growing in magnitude like a bomb going off.

No two people take on the information of being admirable and being admired in the same way.

My hope is that the work is in some way counter-pinup. A pinup asks you to suspend interest in who the person is and occupy yourself entirely with looking at the body and fantasizing about what you could do with that body, completely ignoring how the person might feel about it.

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.

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