When I came to London in 1986, I was amazed at how prudish everyone was.
I like the idea that things can exist in different formats - in a gallery, a fashion ad, in books.
I'm interested in extrovert characters, people who are doing something. But I used to only be able to photograph people I was interested in or attracted to, either psychologically or physically. That all changed when I did the 'Go Sees.'
Everything I choose to photograph, I think is beautiful.
Quite frankly, if I didn't enjoy the fashion industry, then I wouldn't continue to do it.
I like the luxurious, dressing-up aspect of fashion.
I find it quite fascinating to see how the body works.
In order to do something really good, you have to take risks - that's what I do.
I have a way of opening up people and gaining their trust. I think they can see my vulnerability because I'm unafraid to admit if something doesn't quite work.
It's important to be involved in different things for me.
I've never really understood tattoos. I mean, it's your body - why would you wanna scar it? I don't mind other people's tattoos, but I just never got it.
