Terry RICHARDSON: Self-Portrait

Terry Richardson: Self-Portrait, ca. 2000

"You can’t give your photograph soul with technique. I want my photos to be fresh and urgent. A good photograph should be a call to arms. It should say, ‘Fucking now. The time is ripe. Come on.’ - Terry Richardson

"Richardson, like any predator, is a powerful individual who manipulates and victimizes the weak. When they speak out against him, people try to silence them." - Jezebel

Ellen von Unwerth: Monica Bellucci

"Technique undoubtedly helps make photography magical, but I prefer to work with atmosphere. I think that the obsession with technique is a male thing. Boy's toys. They love playing... but once you've perfected something you have to start searching for a new toy. I would rather search for a new model or location." - Ellen von Unwerth

Alfred EISENSTAEDT: George Bernard Shaw

Alfred Eisenstaedt: George Bernard Shaw, 1932

"In 1932, I traveled to London hoping to photograph George Bernard Shaw. People told me he was very difficult and inaccessible, but I was also told that he was a vegetarian. So I bought a bunch of bananas and sent these, together with a portfolio of my photographs, to his home at Whitehall Court. Two days later I was asked to visit him. He looked through my photographs and said, 'You don't have to make me pose, I am a photographer myself." - Alfred Eisenstaedt

Jodi Bieber: Debby (Real Beauty)

“I felt a strong need to create a body of work that goes against what the media has depicted as beautiful. (…) The work deals with reality and no photoshop has been used to remove blemishes, scars, cellulite and any other form of ‘imperfection’, but also touches on fantasy.” Jodi Bieber
