Nothing
|
Nov 07, 2020

The photographer, even in fashion and portraiture, has to have a standpoint. It's important to know what you stand for, no? Most people just take pictures, but they stand for nothing. They follow trends and don't know why.

Hope
|
Nov 07, 2020

There's something else that makes a woman interesting, something beyond being young or being old. And I'm going to find out what that something else is before I die, I hope.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

For me, every photograph is a portrait; the clothes are just a vehicle for what I want to say. You're photographing a relationship with the person you're shooting; there's an exchange, and that's what that picture is.

Go
|
Nov 07, 2020

I have not taken inspiration from the fashion shows. I don't even really go to too many of the fashion shows - and have not for 15 years - because I don't want to be inspired by the same things as everyone else. If everyone is inspired by the same things, then of course, you all do the same pictures.

Fashion
|
Nov 07, 2020

Fashion is about change, don't you think?

Eyes
|
Nov 07, 2020

To go somewhere where nobody knows you, and to keep your eyes open... That was a beautiful concept in terms of putting yourself in a place to be inspired.

More
|
Nov 07, 2020

I show elements of the set in my pictures because it's not real. When I see movies, I often love the 'making of' more than the movie itself. It's not so final. When you have a woman just standing there, it doesn't mean much.

Great
|
Nov 07, 2020

People think that it is important to learn by assisting the great photographers. I say that is a big mistake. Be happy; just learn from any little guy. Learn how to use the camera - you don't need anything else. You can't be taught the real skill anyway.

Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

My first obsession was actually sports. I was a very good handball goalkeeper. With special permission, I played in the premier league in Germany before I was even old enough.

Nov 07, 2020

In the beginning of my twenties, I started transcendental meditation. For years, I did nothing else. Every holiday, I went to courses. Meditation is a real simple instrument. You don't need a long beard or a sari. It's meant to bring you to yourself. It's as easy as that.

Nov 07, 2020

Photography gives you the opportunity to use your sensibility and everything you are to say something about and be part of the world around you. In this way, you might discover who you are, and with a little luck, you might discover something much larger than yourself.

Nov 07, 2020

If photographers are responsible for creating or reflecting an image of women in society, then, I must say, there is only one way for the future, and this is to define women as strong and independent. This should be the responsibility of photographers today: to free women, and finally everyone, from the terror of youth and perfection.

Feel
|
Nov 07, 2020

A lot of mainstream photographers seem not to think about what they're doing or feel any responsibility toward anything. By the time they're done, the models don't have any trace of themselves left. This thing about looking young with no wrinkles or expression is all so boring, really.

Nov 07, 2020

Fashion photography should say something about the stability of a certain time you live in or what kind of women you like. The most interesting thing is not what they're wearing but who they are.

Expensive
|
Nov 07, 2020

These days, photographers have expensive contracts with actresses, but then the actresses have to have their names written in the column because nobody recognizes them. That's kind of strange.

Old
|
Nov 07, 2020

Now there is this whole terror about getting old. Today, that fascination with youth is overrated. What's so special about being young? I just say that because I'm old.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

You cannot say that one woman is 'more beautiful' than another, though people always do. It's so ridiculous to say that.

Nov 07, 2020

The most important part of fashion photography, for me, is not the models; it's not the clothes. It's that you are responsible for defining what a woman today is. That, I think, is my job.

Heartless
|
Nov 07, 2020

Heartless retouching should not be the chosen tool to represent women in the beginning of this century.

New
|
Nov 07, 2020

Fashion photographers are the new painters.

Humanity
|
Nov 07, 2020

With the indiscriminate touching-up of photos, we've grown accustomed to seeing personalities drained of all their humanity, yet we consider them as real.

Beauty
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm firmly convinced that true beauty only springs from the acceptance of oneself, from an awareness of who we really are.

Determination
|
Nov 07, 2020

In 1990, when they asked me to shoot a cover for 'British Vogue' to convey my personal vision of a woman, I explained that I couldn't just photograph one single girl, because what I was looking for was a new purpose, and new feminine determination.

Black And White
|
Nov 07, 2020

Although humans see reality in colour, for me, black and white has always been connected to the image's deeper truth, to its most hidden meaning.

Nov 07, 2020

I don't retouch anything.

Camera
|
Nov 07, 2020

My brother had fabulous children before I had children and for some reason I wanted to photograph them, and that was when I got my first camera. Children have something totally unconscious about them. That's how I learned.

Great
|
Nov 07, 2020

Duisburg was the worst industrial, depressive part of Germany. But it was great. We had nothing, but I didn't miss nothing so that was fine.

Never
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've never been impressed by somebody who came in with a crocodile bag, you know?

Over
|
Nov 07, 2020

I realized that I've worked quite independent from the fast-changing trends over all these years.

Like
|
Nov 07, 2020

You know, as photographers, we do pictures, and people either like them or they hate them.

Lasted
|
Nov 07, 2020

I wouldn't have lasted two minutes as a designer.

Man
|
Nov 07, 2020

People often say, 'You don't go to fashion shows? What kind of photographer are you? What the hell is the wrong with you, man?' But that's what I need in order to be who I am.

Real
|
Nov 07, 2020

You can only really invent something if you connect yourself to the real world - whatever that means.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

I was never so attracted to the glamorous world. That never impressed me.

Always
|
Nov 07, 2020

Women must be freed from the idea that they always have to stay young and that they must disfigure themselves at a certain age.
