We only look at a few fashion magazines, our aim is not to reproduce what's happening. I do get a few ideas from editorials printed in W Magazine and a few others, but we try to stay in touch with what's happening as much as we try to stay removed. Again, we don't want to be influenced by very much since we rely on intuition.
On the flip side, we are fashion photographers so it's imposable (in any medium) to be completely separated and uninfluenced. Everything comes from a piece of something we have seen. Fashion images are extremely powerful and influential. We (all fashion photographers) are trend setters that have a big responsibility in society. This has to be handled with care but the boundaries are always fuzzy. That's what makes this profession so exciting. Each day is like a new gift to open, nothing is sure.
