[KATY GRANNAN][br]I think often there might be a perception[br]that the artist is the author,

0:00:08.320,0:00:11.360
when in fact it is so much more collaborative--

0:00:11.360,0:00:14.640
when in fact people have very strong ideas.

0:00:19.620,0:00:23.980
In particular, when I met Nicole[br]and started photographing Nicole,

0:00:23.980,0:00:27.780
she was the most fun,[br]the most challenging.

0:00:31.800,0:00:34.519
At one point we'd been[br]photographing for a while--

0:00:34.519,0:00:35.519
we're very close--

0:00:35.520,0:00:36.560
and she said, "You know..."

0:00:37.380,0:00:41.920
"I just think your pictures are[br]a little weird, a little boring."

0:00:41.929,0:00:43.440
"Can we make some real pictures?"

0:00:43.440,0:00:45.440
And I said, "Well, yeah!"

0:00:47.340,0:00:51.460
"I'll just lock off the frame,[br]and do whatever you want."

0:00:58.080,0:01:03.190
She got naked and was imitating[br]these provocative poses,

0:01:03.190,0:01:05.460
but then almost doing violence to them.

0:01:08.420,0:01:14.840
There was a desire to have some of that glamour--[br]or sex appeal or whatever--

0:01:14.840,0:01:17.780
and then she rejected it at the same time.

0:01:17.780,0:01:23.240
I thought, this is closer to what I feel as[br]a woman.
