He gained recognition for his black and white fashion photography, capturing the essence of models such as Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Tatjana Patitz, Cindy Crawford, and Christy Turlington.

He photographed the Pirelli Calendar three times (1996, 2002, 2017), featuring actresses instead of models for the first time in 2002 [1].
