There were some advantages to being a woman photographer. I think women have more empathy with the subject.
I didn't want to let women down. One of the stereotypes I see breaking is the idea of aging and older women not being beautiful.

I can't stand the word 'celebrity.' It's such a brash word.

Computer photography won't be photography as we know it. I think photography will always be chemical.
I was scared to do anything in the studio because it felt so claustrophobic. I wanted to be somewhere where things could happen and the subject wasn't just looking back at you.
