I've fallen in love with the classical world of imagery, and what I'd like to do now over the last bit of my life is to photograph some nudes.
I enjoy doing my more intimate and less commercial pictures and also I enjoy directing.
I've been really interested and inspired by Nan Goldin, the photographer.
Within every man and woman a secret is hidden, and as a photographer it is my task to reveal it if I can.
Like Robert Mapplethorpe, Helmut Newton, and so many others before me, sexual imagery has always been a part of my photography.
Most women's pictures are as boring and as formulaic as men's pictures. In place of a car chase or a battle scene, what you get is an extreme closeup of a woman breaking down.
I treat the camera like a person - I gaze into it. Photos are a flat thing, and you need to put life into them.
Whenever I do someone's portrait, I'm trying to locate the photo in the lens while reaching into that person psychologically. There's the magic! I don't always achieve it. It's a hit or a miss!
