The camera has always been a magic wand for me, giving me access to places where I could try new experiments.
My photography is the result of being there at the right moment.
Looking back, I didn't have the patience to work in fashion. I like women so much, but I was never qualified to torture them in photo shoots. You have to be really tough and brutal.
A photograph is a moment - when you press the button, it will never come back.
