“I don't retouch anything.”

“For me, every photograph is a portrait; the clothes are just a vehicle for what I want to say. You're photographing a relationship with the person you're shooting; there's an exchange, and that's what that picture is.”

“When I started, art photography, like that of Andreas Gursky, and Thomas Struth, didn't exist.”

“I show elements of the set in my pictures because it's not real. When I see movies, I often love the 'making of' more than the movie itself. It's not so final. When you have a woman just standing there, it doesn't mean much.”

“You know, as photographers, we do pictures, and people either like them or they hate them.”

“Fashion is about change, don't you think?”

“Women must be freed from the idea that they always have to stay young and that they must disfigure themselves at a certain age.”
