Asphalt jungle, Valentina, Los Angeles 2005
PHOTOGRAPHER: JACQUES OLIVAR
What I like in fashion pictures is the possibility given to you to tell stories. I mean pictures where you can write a whole book about. For my point of view, the limited field of the straight fashion picture showing a beautiful girl, with glamorous light, in a sexy attitude, has its value of course, showing dresses, jewels, shoes, bags, but I always felt culturally limited by this use of space given to you, and in a way, kind of disrespect towards readers, offering them nothing that goes beyond the fashion universe. So I have never been attracted by the commercial vocation of fashion photography. Anyway, I dropped stunning and striking Valentina, my tonight heroine, somewhere in Hollywood Boulevard at 1a.m. Kind of escaping from a very hip party where everything went wrong. This is what I had in mind more or less. Well, here we are, late at night, and I think all the homeless people, dropouts, trumps, tourists, Hollywood warriors and fancy truth seekers, were standing behind me while shooting. I don't know why but they were so respectfully silent and so quiet. Lovely LA people! Cool dudes! Love you guys!
