"The photographer,
even in fashion & portraiture,
has to have a standpoint.
It's important to know
what you stand for, no?
Most people just take pictures
but they stand for nothing.
They follow trends
& don't know why."
"If photographers are responsible for creating or reflecting
an image of women in society,
then I must say,
there is only one way for the future,
& this is to define women
as strong & independent.
This should be the responsibility of photographers today:
to free women,
and finally everyone,
from the terror of youth & perfection."
"Your inspiration is better
if it comes from many different sources
& your sensibilities will transform
all those influences & inspiration
into your own visual world.
It's like reading the book
instead of watching the movie."
"Photography gives you the opportunity
to use your sensibility
& everything you are
to say something about
& be part of the world around you.
In this way,
you might discover who you are,
& with a little luck,
you might discover something much larger
than yourself."
