I love fashion, beauty, glamour. It's the mark of civilisation.

I shoot fantasy. If you want reality, ride the bus

My pictures are about getting as far away from reality as possible. Dreams should be part of our everyday life.

If you want reality take the bus.

People say photographs don't lie, mine do.

I'm a photographer, period. I love photography, the immediacy of it. I like the craft, the idea of saying 'I'm a photographer.'

I understand what my brand is. My brand is not my information. My brand is me and what I say is secondary to who I am.

At every moment, Love's voice talks to us from left and from right. All we have to do is to know how to listen.
