Why is your work different?

Because I take care of everything. I listen to others' opinions but I decide about the make up, about the hair and I try to provoke a reaction. My subjects have to feel wonderful and secure. You have to be very affectionate during a shoot, whether you are making them laugh or screaming at them. My pictures are supposed to tell a story. It can be without a beginning a middle or an end. But they tell something. I take pictures for a reason, not just for the surface.

I just worked again with the wonderful fashion designer Betsey Johnson on her new Spring Summer Collection 2010 and you have been looking at those shots.
