photography hard-work thinking
The photographs don't arouse me. All I can think about is the hard work it took to make them.
photography work-out assistants
Technically, I have not changed very much. Ask my assistants. They'll tell you, I am the easiest photographer to work with. I don't have heavy equipment. I work out of one bag.
photography art gun
Some people`s photography is an art. Mine is not. If they happen to be exhibited in a gallery or a museum, that`s fine. But that`s not why I do them. I`m a gun for hire.
photography discipline challenges
The point of my photography has always been to challenge myself, to go a little further than my Germanic discipline and Teutonic nature would traditionally permit me to.
photography fashion interesting
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.
photography art dirty
Some people's photography is an art. Not mine. Art is a dirty word in photography. All this fine art crap is killing it already.
photography art ideas

There are two dirty words in photography, one is art, the other is good taste

The desire to discover, the desire to move, to capture the flavor, three concepts that describe the art of photography.
photography inspiration moving
Photography is 10% inspiration and 90% moving furniture.
photography hate creative
I hate good taste. It's the worst thing that can happen to a creative person.
photography jobs portraits
My job as a portrait photographer is to seduce, amuse and entertain.
