I think if you're at the point where you're popular enough to sell your wedding photos to OK! Magazine then you don't need the money.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I would absolutely, definitely never sell my wedding pictures to a magazine. I'd like it to be a special day, not a photo shoot. And once you've done that, your marriage becomes everybody else's business.
I don't need the money I generate from photography to support myself.
As an artist, you need to be not at all entitled in your relation with the work. So money is kind of worrying. You can start to expect things if you're used to a certain level of comfort.
The press is just not your friend when it comes to a marriage. That's why we didn't sell the pictures of our wedding, and we got offered millions of dollars for them, millions.
Whenever I get married, I start buying Gourmet magazine.
Publishing magazines for yourself is not good business, man.
I respect newspapers, but the reality is that magazine 'photojournalism' is finished. They want illustrations, Photoshopped pictures of movie stars.
I'm not such an artist type that I can't handle the real world. I read the financial pages, because most people don't talk about art.
Because we do not sell photographs, we have no royalties on books, posters, postcards.
I have mixed feelings about those sorts of things. When I see it done by interesting young people, I think it's very valid. But when established photographers, people in their forties, copy me and get a lot of money, well, I find that to be very stupid.
