SABA Spring/Summer 1996–97, Mercedes Australian Fashion Week, Sydney

When I was backstage, I knew most of the models anyway, from the parties and from other fashion shows, and they trusted me. I wasn't going to get photos of them undressed, I do respect everybody's privacy. When the show starts, most of the photographers had to leave and go into the front, but the PRs all knew me and they let me stay behind and still photograph the models getting ready in their outfits. It is really all about trust, and the same with London and being allowed into the VIP areas, knowing I wasn't going to take photographs of somebody drunk, or out of it, or falling over, because I wouldn't like to be photographed like that either.
