व्यापक अर्थों में हर चीज़ एक तरह का आत्म-चित्र होती है। यह बस इस बात का नज़रिया है कि आप चीज़ों को कैसे देखते हैं, किन चीज़ों को लेकर आपके मन में जिज्ञासा है और आप किन बातों से उत्साहित होते हैं।

Everything in a wide sense is a kind of a self-portrait. It's just the way you see things and you're curious about certain things and just excited about them.

सुंदरता का यह पैमाना हर जगह है। आप इससे बच नहीं सकते—टीवी, वॉलपेपर, पोस्टर, होर्डिंग्स, पत्रिकाएं। ये लोगों के रूप-रंग को लेकर एक अजीब सी धारणा लोगों के मन में बिठा देते हैं। यह वाकई हैरान करने वाला है कि हर कोई इस एक चीज़, इस परम सुंदरता को पाने के लिए भागा जा रहा है, पर आख़िर यह है क्या?

मुझे छुपकर साइड से तस्वीरें लेना पसंद नहीं है। मुझे सीधे तौर पर बात करना पसंद है। मैं खुद के प्रति और अपने विषय के प्रति जितना हो सके उतना ईमानदार रहना चाहता हूँ। और मैं इस बात पर भरोसा करता हूँ कि उनकी इंसानियत खुलकर सामने आएगी।

I don't like taking a sly picture on the side. I like the direct approach. I want to be as honest to myself and the subject as possible. And I'm depending on their humanness to come through.

मुझे फ़ैशन से बिल्कुल भी दिलचस्पी नहीं है। और मैं जानता हूँ कि फ़ैशन फ़ोटोग्राफ़र होना एक अजीब सा पेशा है, एक तरह का लाचार पेशा, लेकिन मुझे यह पसंद है, भले ही मैं इस पर सवाल उठाता हूँ।

I don't care about fashion at all. And I know it's kind of a dodgy thing to be a fashion photographer, a kind of pathetic occupation, but I like it, even though I question it.

आज मेरी माँ के साथ मेरा जो रिश्ता है, और कब्र के सामने उनकी तस्वीरें लेना, इन सब ने हमें खुलकर बात करने का मौका दिया है। हम उन बातों पर चर्चा कर पाते हैं कि जब मैं छोटा था तो हम कैसे रहते थे, आत्महत्या जैसी बातों पर खुलकर बात कर पाते हैं। तो यह एक सकारात्मक बात है, इसने हम दोनों को और करीब ला दिया है, क्योंकि कई बार लोग इन विषयों पर कभी बात ही नहीं करते। कुछ परिवार कुछ खास विषयों के पास भी नहीं फटकते क्योंकि वे बहुत ज़्यादा दर्दनाक, संवेदनशील या खतरनाक लग सकते हैं। लेकिन इन तस्वीरों को खींचने के बहाने, मैं उनके साथ जीवन की कुछ खास बातों पर एक खुला संवाद भी शुरू करना चाहता था।

The relationship I have with my mother now, and photographing her in front of the grave, it opens up discussions, and dealings with the conversations with my mother about, when I was little, how we lived and about suicide and talking about it, so it's something positive, it brought us more together, because people might never discuss that. Some families never go near certain subjects because it's too hurtful or too close or too dangerous. But within doing these photographs, I also wanted to open up a conversation with her about certain things about life.

जब आप एक जाने-माने फैशन फोटोग्राफर होते हैं, तो मॉडलिंग एजेंसियां लगातार फोन करती हैं। वे कहती हैं, यह शानदार लड़की तीन दिन के लिए शहर में है। वह कमाल की है, बहुत बेहतरीन है। आपको उससे मिलना ही चाहिए... इसलिए मैंने सचमुच उनसे मिलने का फैसला किया। मैंने अपना स्टूडियो खोला और कहा, किसी को भी भेज दो... और मैं इस पूरी प्रक्रिया का आदी सा हो गया। मैं यह देखने के लिए उत्सुक था कि आखिर कितनी लड़कियां आती हैं। मुझे यकीन ही नहीं हो रहा था कि सचमुच इतनी सारी लड़कियां आसपास मौजूद हैं।

When you're a well-known fashion photographer, modeling agencies call constantly. They'll say, This great girl is in town for three days. She's excellent, she's exciting. You've got to see her... So I decided to really have a look at them. I opened up my studio and said, Send anyone... And I became quite addicted to the whole thing. I was curious to see how many girls would come. I couldn't believe that there really were so many around.
