I enjoy finding a low subject and bringing it up high. I think with strong technique, you can glamorize certain things. You can make the imagery sharper, rounder, and basically better looking.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I kind of do high-low style a lot.
What I'm doing is art - it's low-brow art but there's a magic in that.
To be interested solely in technique would be a very superficial thing to me.
I try to keep a low profile in general. Not with my art, but just as a person.
What I like doing is imagery that can be interpreted in any particular way by the person who wears it.
It's easy to make something avant garde. To do something in the traditional way is much more brave in the sense that you're - your technique is so much more exposed because there's not all this flashy stuff to distract the viewer.
One of the difficulties of photography is that it is much better at being explicit than at being reticent.
No art is any good unless you can feel how it's put together. By and large it's the eye, the hand and if it's any good, you feel the body. Most of the best stuff seems to be a complete gesture, the totality of the artist's body; you can really lean on it.
There are neither good nor bad subjects. From the point of view of pure Art, you could almost establish it as an axiom that the subject is irrelevant, style itself being an absolute manner of seeing things.
In art, at a certain level, there is no 'better than.' It's just about trying to operate for yourself on the most supreme level, artistically, that you can and hoping that people get it.
