"""I took my first nude photographs when I was eighteen: my models were amateurs – usually the lovers I had at the time – and my studio was a small garret. Then, six years ago, I said to myself, ""Right, this time I'm going to try and follow my project through to the end. For me, the ""end"" was to compile a book of photographs. A book is the sum total of work done: the compilation of a work between two book covers, like in a jewellery case. I like ""books"" as objects.
Not long ago, when I had hung up all of the pictures on pinboards in order to do the layout for the book, I recalled a question one of my friends had posed: what do I want to show? The only answer I can think of is""beauty"". I know that this answer will be unsatisfactory for some. I mean the ones who will object to the way I represent women. However, the truth is that, above and beyond sadomasochism, I want to show the beauty of the women involved. S/M is the field in which you are typically deluged with vulgar, often violent images. I don't like that. I like gracefulness. So here it is – my first book: Plastic Bondage. (It was high time too!)"""""
