The term "political correctness" has always appalled me, reminding me of Orwell's "Thought Police" and fascist regimes.
I like photographing the people I love, the people I admire, the famous, and especially the infamous.
Since the commercialization and banality of editorial magazine pages have made this work uninteresting, advertising has become an increasingly important part of my work.
Growing up, I was surrounded by Nazi imagery, like everybody in Germany, and for a boy obsessed with photography it left an indelible impression on me.
