I like getting my ideas from the things of now. I am very conscious of the moment, of images that belong to this moment instead of another period. Fashion is really a reflection of our lives. You see women today and they don't do their hair up; they all wear their hair undone. So you have to reflect that in your photography .

Work is your life, it’s not a rehearsal. You work 7 days a week so you may as well enjoy those days.

Chic is nothing but the right nothing.

It's a choice - there are two different sorts of photographer: those obsessed with the technicalities and those obsessed by the subject.

I had the right amount of detachment to go back and really appreciate what I had grown up with. There’s a particular style that is very Peru that you don’t see anywhere else; it’s got so many different imprints. When you mix Incan minimalism with the heavy, ornate Spanish Baroque, it is very interesting.

My pictures are my eyes. I photograph what I see - and what I want to see.

Some people strive for perfection, but I often find perfection boring
