Pictures Quotes

-
I understand the feelings of critics asked to come up with the ten best films of any year, who say, Ten?

I love beautiful women. I love to show their personality, their sexuality. There's a fashion side to my erotic pictures: I love beautiful shoes and jewellery.

It's fashion photography, but with fewer clothes.
Ellen von Unwerth

To stroll is to enjoy, it is to assume a mind-set, it is to admire the sublime pictures of unhappiness, of love, of joy, of graceful or grotesque portraits; it is to plunge one's vision to the depths of a thousand existences: young, it is to desire everything; old, it is to live the life of the young, to marry their passions.
