It's very intimidating to be photographed, but if I kneel down and chat with you, so you're looking down at me, it makes you feel less threatened.

I always wanted to be the underdog. For me, as a portrait photographer, it's the kiss of death to become well known. I did my best work when no one knew who I was. People weren't threatened by me because they didn't think I was a big deal.

Photography can be a volatile situation. It can be very potent.

Those who feel threatened by you or your success will seek to tear you down.

Personally, I don't feel threatened.

When people feel threatened by you, they find something that is belittling.
