I look at them today with tenderness,…

Quatre Instants de Nudité / Four Moments of Nudity I have been taking photos with models, mainly female, for a very long time. Why only photos of women? Surely because women are a great source of inspiration for me.

Anxiety is rising about how these problems can be reversed in whatever time we…
