Fashion photographers are the new painters.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A lot of fashion photographers will do the same sort of image for many years; it's easier to be successful if you do that.
All painters are interested in photography to a certain extent.
A fashion photographer is nothing without clothes and hair and makeup. And when I speak to other photographers, a lot of them can't reference a picture by the designer. Me, I say, 'The Balenciaga.' And I go to the shows. I feel like it's my business.
I always look at the work of fashion designers as if they were art.
Any artist picks and chooses what they want to paint or write about or say. Photographers are the same.
Photographers have to make the clothes look fantastic; that's why we get paid.
Fashion is not art. Never.
Artists rarely do the same thing over and over again. Art is about the new, doing things in a new way.
There's nothing wrong with being a fashion photographer, but it's a bit limited.
Fine artists reflect, and then they act. Fashion photographers - we act, and then we reflect.
