The way I work differs from project to project. In advertising there is generally more money, the working conditions are more confortable. When I shoot in my professional universe, I usually have an assistant, one or more professional models, a stylist, a location hunter and all that a good production crew can provide.
When I work for myself and do personal things, all the above mentioned people in the production crew are turned into one : and that's me. I'll do everything from start to finish, from top to bottom and everything that's in between. Not always easy, I admit, and sometimes it requires a tremendous amount of energy, but the result is basically that much more rewarding, in that the end result is about me, and the story I want to tell, in the way I want to tell it.
