1814: We've always believed that in order to take a great photograph you must love the subject caught in your lens… that you must fall in love just a bit with the photograph. You certainly found beauty in your subjects. Can you tell us about the relationship between photographer and subject?

WH: A good model will give you opportunities. You'll get different poses, different moves… until you say "Stop thats it!". The better the model the better the picture. The model I hired were exciting, unique. They all brought something to the pictures. They contributed. They made the clothes look good and they made me look good. And as I got closer to them, the easier it was directing them. Usually I found models desirable. I almost always got a little friendlier with a model than just taking pictures. But one never interfered with another.
