What do you make of Juergen the fashion photographer?
"I think it’s the humanity and honesty that what makes him an incredible fashion photographer. Juergen has so much fun being in the world of fashion but he comes at it so differently. Fashion and glamour are often seen to be linked, but Juergen has always challenged this in a very distinct way."

Does it surprise you that his anti-fashion approach has made him such a raging success in fashion circles?
"I’m not surprised that his work has done so well in the world of fashion because it is so different. You get the sense with Juergen that he’s led by the image more than anything else — not the product. But it’s exactly this approach that ends up selling the product."
