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

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

00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:14.640
when in fact people have very strong ideas.

00:00:19.620 --> 00:00:23.980
In particular, when I met Nicole
and started photographing Nicole,

00:00:23.980 --> 00:00:27.780
she was the most fun,
the most challenging.

00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:34.519
At one point we'd been
photographing for a while--

00:00:34.519 --> 00:00:35.519
we're very close--

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

00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:41.920
"I just think your pictures are
a little weird, a little boring."

00:00:41.929 --> 00:00:43.440
"Can we make some real pictures?"

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

00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:51.460
"I'll just lock off the frame,
and do whatever you want."

00:00:58.080 --> 00:01:03.190
She got naked and was imitating
these provocative poses,

00:01:03.190 --> 00:01:05.460
but then almost doing violence to them.

00:01:08.420 --> 00:01:14.840
There was a desire to have some of that glamour--
or sex appeal or whatever--

00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:17.780
and then she rejected it at the same time.

00:01:17.780 --> 00:01:23.240
I thought, this is closer to what I feel as
a woman.
