My mother forbid me to use her camera when I was just a child. There's nothing like someone telling you "No." Nothing in the world makes me want something more.

All of the above. Every single aspect must be held in the highest regard. If one thing fails, it can ruin the entire image.

I can not speak for anyone else but my goal is to use clothing that can stand the test of time but also remain timely. Not easy but that's my goal when considering fashion in an image.

Mistakes.

My friends, my lovers, my family. Artists who have sincere sentiment and passion... Louise Bourgeois, Eva Zeisel, Irving Penn...I could go on for days.

Sadly, no. I am never 100%. How cliché, I know. But if you are satisfied...how can you improve yourself?

I actually began as a dancer. Obviously, in the end, I chose photography. I wonder about that sometimes but there's nothing like a solo dance party at home.

Personally, I don't like digital but it's only because I have not given it the time. I shoot large format film and nothing can ever replace that. The medium is an essential part of my work and it's quality. One day I will not have a choice but to shoot digital but for now I'm happy with film. Extra work...post production...it's just another tool to create the image you want. Photography is evolving even though I stay analog to a degree.

So much but in terms of pictures, I'm making a portrait book with Jeffery Deitch, going to San Francisco to make a short film with a friend...

Isabelle Toledo.

The community garden next to my house. I think I've done 6 portraits there...you'd never know it!
