![]() It’s like the boxers I photographed with the Olympic hopefuls. You have to earn your respect each day and I think that’s kind of nice and it’s kind of healthy for photographers. I think they’re really ugly and I don’t like those kind of men.” Or, "I think it’s really terrible the way women are treated in your pictures.’’ Like someone will say to me, “I don’t think these guys are so great looking that you have photographed. I’m as schizophrenic as any other person about that kind of thing. Some days I’ll feel really depressed and other days I really don’t take it to heart. Why are you photographing these guys like that?”īW It depends. People call me and say, “God, I hate your photographs. You were even told by some people in the fashion industry that you would never work in fashion again. RC As I remember the series of photographs of men’s underwear was very controversial. RC Your fashion photographs first appeared in a relatively avant-garde or sort of left-of-center publication which is the now-defunct SoHo Weekly News, right? It should be all about getting onto another photograph. I just think that as long as one can work and have a good time at it and at least learn something then you’re not discarding what you do. People always complain that fashion uses photographers or uses artists and corrupts them in some sense and I’ve never been completely convinced of that.īW I think that a lot of people, especially people who work for fashion magazines, feel that their photographs at times are really pretty much discarded or thrown away immediately because when you work for a magazine people today really don’t save magazines like they used to. Because sometimes you can go out and be working for a catalogue and take a picture you love. I really love taking photographs and I love looking at photographs and I like a lot of other people’s photographs and I don’t think that one can get too serious about that. I just don’t like to get too serious about it. I think the same about all my photographs. RC So there is no distinction in your mind between your fashion work and your exhibition work? What I mean is, when you do a fashion shoot, are you trying to inform the work with values different from those you bring to your other work?īW I don’t think so at all. For me, photographs like that bring something to life. It’s always people, if they’re expressing a lifestyle or they’re wearing something that is very personal. I think National Geographic has some of the best fashion I’ve ever seen. Or I look at a book by August Sander and I see a lot of fashion in those photographs. ![]() I love fashion photographs but I never think of them as fashion pictures because I just look at the newspaper and sometimes I see amazing fashion photographs. I really don’t think: “This is going to be a fashion photograph.” I mean you know even if I’m doing a photograph of a girl in a dress or a guy in a suit, I don’t think of it as being a fashion picture. RC You’ve been quoted as saying that you don’t know what fashion photography is. RC What kind of pictures do you take for fun?īW Hopefully, all my pictures. Some of them, pictures that I take for fun. RC Are the photographs that you are taking for Per Lui fashion photographs?īW Yes. It’s about architecture, painting and sculpture and the entertainment business. It’s other people’s photographs and it’s all kinds of stuff, you know. It’s not an issue of photographs of mine. Rosemary Carroll You’ve been real busy, I take it.īruce Weber Yes, I’ve been on the road for a little bit.īW Well, I’ve been working as a guest editor for a magazine I like to work for a lot in ltaly- Per Lui. When I spoke to him, he called me from Caesar's Palace at 7:00 AM.
