I haven't been worried about my image so much as I have been trying to find projects to push myself further than before.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If I can be in a place where my image is encouraging people to see different people behind the camera, and my image and the images I make can help open up a certain world view, I think that's all a part of a larger spirit of change and progress, and I'm happy to be part of it.
I'm not too worried about that. I am a big believer in modeling.
I made some good pictures, and I made some bad ones. I wasn't trying to build an image, though; I was trying to build a life for myself.
I don't have a problem with my image; it's other people who do.
My only worry is the painting I'm doing. Nothing else.
No, I never thought about my image. It interests me that there are people who do, that they seem to be methodical about it.
On days when I do not work, I am working on my image.
People see my photos and think I labor over my image and I'm this cool, brooding artist. But I'm just having fun with it.
I've always been aware that the image you patiently construct for an entire career can be ruined in a minute. It scares you a bit, but that's the way things are.
I don't try to project any image at all, other than the person that I am.
