Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.00,0:00:02.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(light music)
Dialogue: 0,0:00:09.09,0:00:13.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,- Well, I don't usually do commissions,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:13.35,0:00:18.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I think when I haven't been working,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.92,0:00:24.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when I feel like I need\Nsome sort of project
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.21,0:00:27.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to challenge me, to force\Nme to start working,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.18,0:00:31.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I sometimes will just accept it,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.93,0:00:35.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I have a real deadline\Nto force me to get going.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.19,0:00:42.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was through a friend of\Nmine who represents Balenciaga,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.15,0:00:46.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,asked me if I wanted to do\Nsome shots for French Vogue,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.26,0:00:48.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I said, my sort of stipulation is,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.04,0:00:52.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as long as you can lend me the\Nclothes for weeks at a time
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.77,0:00:54.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I don't have that\Nkind of pressure that,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.82,0:00:57.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,normally, I think commercial photographers
Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.21,0:00:59.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,shoot everything in one day,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.88,0:01:01.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I said, no, I need\Nthe clothes for longer,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.68,0:01:03.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and so they were totally cool with that.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.52,0:01:08.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I wanted it to look like these are people
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.51,0:01:13.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who happen to be wearing\NBalenciaga at some groovy parties.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.85,0:01:16.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Maybe they work in the fashion business,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.41,0:01:18.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or maybe they would like to be working
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.06,0:01:19.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the fashion business.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.13,0:01:23.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was trying to sort of make it look
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.55,0:01:25.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as if they're shot with flash.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.44,0:01:27.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The backgrounds are all digitally added
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.30,0:01:30.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with just shots of people\Nin restaurants and bars,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.39,0:01:38.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that was kind of what\Nthis series started out as,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.46,0:01:43.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then I subsequently\Nblew up one of these large
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.70,0:01:47.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to see how it would hold\Nup as a work of art,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.99,0:01:51.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it didn't look good\Nwith the backgrounds,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.44,0:01:54.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I wound up going back
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.03,0:01:55.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and completely changing the backgrounds,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.83,0:01:58.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they sort of now have a new life
Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.74,0:02:01.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as different sort of pictures.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.50,0:02:06.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Still somewhat as if they're from parties,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.93,0:02:09.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but in some cases even more so,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.10,0:02:12.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I added these flash effects.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.23,0:02:18.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it was actually the\Nfirst time I tried shooting
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.57,0:02:22.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the digital camera. I\Nborrowed a friend's camera,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.62,0:02:24.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I was kind of nervous about that, too.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.69,0:02:26.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now I'm suddenly experimenting\Nwith a digital camera,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.50,0:02:28.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I don't really know how to use it,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.11,0:02:30.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and does it work the same with the lights?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.03,0:02:31.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then I have to set it up
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.62,0:02:33.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to look at my computer while I'm shooting,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.36,0:02:35.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it was all kind of touch\Nand go in the beginning
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.67,0:02:40.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and a little scary,\Nbut once I was into it,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.32,0:02:42.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it was just like, I'm a total convert.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.33,0:02:43.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I threw out all my film
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.65,0:02:46.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I'm ready to get rid of my cameras,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.65,0:02:50.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I would just never go back to film.
