"When I started out, advertising photography was dominated (and still continues to grow in that direction) by a pseudo stylistic, over blown, artificial, embellished, colour splashed sensibility. A sense of naturalness about how we eat, drink, sleep, celebrate, f***, dream and live—was missing. So for me the niche was already there, I just had to ease in to it."

TRUTH!!!

I had to literally shout my amen. So much (most) of fashion photography is just a bunch of shitty pictures (if not just boring) of nothing. It's like, the emperor has no clothes on. Why does nobody notice?!?!!!

Just to hear someone else, a great photographer of color too, say this makes me feel so validated. Gives me hope too, that maybe my art bone is not horribly beyond repair.

Thank you!
