Beyond Celebrity

This quote completely jumpstarted my day:

You know I developed a style a long time ago and I've had agents say to me "you know, you need to reinvent yourself" and you know, I've got to be honest at this stage in my life I don't fucking feel like reinventing myself. I feel like I've spent 40 years trying to figure out who Greg Gorman is and that's who I am and that's the pictures that I take an that's what I do for a living.

Fine Art TV has a great interview with portrait photographer extraordinaire Greg Gorman who talks about how he got started shooting headshots for $35 each to working with the likes of Dustin Hoffman and Leonardo Decaprio. Now he is one of the most sought after celebrity photographers out there. And as he says "success in life, period, is being becoming one with yourself... to feel like what you're doing and who you are as a person is all gratifying and all comes together as one."
