inspiration

inspiration for shooting half-naked models? yes. inspiration for that.

i think there is only so much intimacy you can capture with color. i think the finer emotions and hidden undertones in a photograph can only be revealed in black and white. i think the proximity to your subject becomes closer and the photograph becomes more transparent and eye to eye in black and white.


vogue italy july 1995

certainly one of my favorite black and white editorials. these will be an inspiration for many years to come.
