For me, being able to say that my first-ever photo shoot was with one of the most well-known and iconic fashion photographers in the world is unbelievable.
Of course I don't like the fact that my wife goes to the supermarket and there are photographers. But I realise that the press attention is the same wherever you go.
I'm not against digital photography. It's great for newspapers. And there are photographers doing great work digitally. When they use Photoshop as a darkroom tool, that's fine, too. But at this point of my life, after so many years, I don't really want to change, and I still love film.
A lot of photographers walk around looking for something 'out there,' but I'm very much interested in what's 'in here.'
Photographers have to make the clothes look fantastic; that's why we get paid.
I think photographers are too polite. There is not enough anger in photography; it's pretty much trivialized.
There is no there there.
With each assignment, I weigh the looming possibility of being killed, and I chastise myself for allowing fear to hinder me. War photographers aren't supposed to get scared.
I began photographing in 1946. Before that, I was a painter and drawer, with my mother and father's support. They were a bit pissed when I went into photography. They thought photographers were guys who took pictures at weddings.
I feed on other people's creativity, photographers, artists of every kind. Sometimes a feeling that you get listening to a song can be so powerful. I've wanted to write whole scripts around what I felt just listening to a piece of music. I think music is important, and surrounding your visual field with stimulating things.
It's not easy for most girls to stand in next-to-nothing and listen to photographers and stylists commenting on how they look.
Even though photographers are only shooting the outside, beauty is more about who you are as a person - the life you lead - not your facade.
I am not a photojournalist and certainly not used to the Jason Bourne type stuff that some photographers have to deal with.
One of my all-time favorite photographers is Irving Penn. I wish I could have watched him work.
Stock photos are used everywhere on the Net. Chances are, the website you are on right now uses stock photos somewhere - maybe as the featured image of the blog post. This also means that there will always be a large market for stock photographers.
I sometimes like the pictures photographers take of me.
Smiles come naturally to me, but I started thinking of them as an art form at my command. I studied all the time. I looked at magazines, I'd practice in front of the mirror and I'd ask photographers about the best angles. I can now pull out a smile at will.
