They Often Ask Me To Shoot For

It's That I Don't Like White Paper Backgrounds. A Woman Does Not Live In Front Of White Paper. She Lives On The Street, In A Motor Car, In A Hotel Room.

I Like Photographing Women Who Appear To Know Something Of Life. I Recently Did A Session With A Great Beauty, A Movie Star In In Her Thirties. I Photographed Her Twice Within Three Weeks And The Second Time I Said: "you're Much More Beautiful Today Than You Were Three Weeks Ago." And She Replied: "but I'm Also Three Weeks Older.

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.

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

I Have Always Avoided Photographing In The Studio. A Woman Does Not Spend Her Life Sitting Or Standing In Front Of A Seamless White Paper Background. Although It Makes My Life More Complicated, I Prefer To Take My Camera Out Into The Street... And Places That Are Out Of Bounds For Photographers Have Always Had A Special Attraction For Me.
