On photographing the nude.
I think it [the nude] is about having the temerity to live: to
seize the moment before us, that is what I look for when I take nude photos. In
the process of capturing the moment one looks to reveal a sense of questioning,
an engagement of one with the primal essence of the self, and affirm the fierce
determination of Being. It forces you to confront your fears, your presumptions,
and view the flesh for what it is: the embodiment of Being. It is about confronting
the preconception of mores and attitudes toward Being, of questioning the
fundamental trivialities of a society that imprison the mind and soul in its
petty confabulations of the body, and, eventually, having the will to risk
conformity and throw care to the wind in the face of living: of expressing and
being expressed as Being, true, without limits, without regrets… to dare to be
and face one’s own being.
