My Job As A Portrait Photographer Is

I Like Photographing The People I Love, The People I Admire, The Famous, And Especially The Infamous. My Last Infamous Subject Was The Extreme Right Wing French Politician Jean-marie Le Pen.

In The Photographs Themselves There's A Definite Contrast Between The Figures And The Location - I Like That Kind Of California Backyard Look; Clapboard Houses, Staircases Outdoors.

They Often Ask Me To Shoot For Them. But I Say No. I Think An Old Guy Like Me Ought Not Take Pages Away From Young Photographers Who Need The Exposure.

I Hate Good Taste. It's The Worst Thing That Can Happen To A Creative Person.

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.
