Black and white nude
"A nude is not a good nude unless it has a little bit of lust in it. If you take a look at good art and bad art and if you look at human emotion from total tragedy to complete happiness you will see that most great art will deal with the tragic end of the sectrum rather than the happy. I set up the premise and I let the viewer supply the resolution. If I give a really happy picture to begin with, well there's no resolution. It's already resolved. I think with most of my pictures there are questions rather than answers." |

"I used to work for an American newspaper. They used to have a problem with the way my counterparts and I take pictures - the way I compose frames and the way I use the shadows. They were saying that there was too much negative space. I had a hard time explaining to them that negative space has a meaning too. I thought about the way Japanese art and probably some other Asian art use space. Negative space has more meaning. The emphasis is on simple form. |
