Life rarely presents fully finished photographs. An image evolves, often from a single strand of visual interest - a distant horizon, a moment of light, a held expression.
I fell in love with the darkroom, and that was part of being a photographer at the time. The darkroom was unbelievably sexy. I would spend all night in the darkroom.
I love storytelling, I love being a visual person, and it just made perfect sense to be an underwater photographer and explore the ocean and work with scientists.
I started modeling and after a while the photographer Bruce Weber introduced me to Joel Schumacher, who cast me in my first film, and I just fell in love.
Consulting the rules of composition before taking a photograph, is like consulting the laws of gravity before going for a walk.

I'm an amateur photographer, apart from being a professional one, and I think maybe my amateur pictures are the better ones.

The job of the color photographer is to provide some level of abstraction that can take the image out of the daily.
Believe me, I don't like being photographed. I don't like myself in pictures. Actually, I do sometimes.
The tools I learned photographing celebrities, now I want to use them to sell ideas.
I've never felt massively satisfied from standing there while someone takes my photograph. It's never given me a thrill.
It's marvellous, marvellous! Nothing will ever be as much fun. I'm going to photograph everything, everything!
The notion of time bothers me. You look at thirty-year-old photographs and realize how the time has passed.
To know ahead of time what you're looking for means you're then only photographing your own preconceptions, which is very limiting, and often false.
I had already done a lot of research for Rough Riders, keeping notebooks and old photographs. Some of the books were antiques for that time period, with the covers falling off.
