«There’s a weird judgement that comes involved with imagery in that people think every image needs to be ‘high resolution’. One doesn’t apply that restriction to a painting. That criteria isn’t used for anything except for photography.»

2. On challenging notions of beauty via Revista Metal

3. On fashion film vs. fashion photography and why he started SHOWstudio via SHOWstudio on youtube

«The old medium of photography is fine, but it isn’t the zeitgeisting medium that it was.»

«I think its always important to allow people to see how things are made; to allow people to see the process; because then, you understand the art better.»
