*ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A DIFFERENT KIND OF BEAUTY*




FUC: How fucked-up are you?
J.W.: Fucked-up enough to be consumed by an over-evaluation of death, and yet still able to wear highly rational psychological makeup.

FUC: What a fuck are you doing right now?
J.W.: At the moment, I'm looking at pictures of fundamentalist Mormons. I feel like an alien looking at these people.



FUC: When did you understand that being a “photographer” was going to be your job ?
J.W.: When I figured out how happy photography was making me.

FUC: What’s the last magazine you bought?
J.W.: Hobo Magazine. I like it.



FUC: What kind of music do you usually listen during your shootings?
J.W.: All kinds of music. Whatever makes the mood or bonds with the model. This week, mostly New wave.

FUC: What’s the most fucked-up experience you had during one of your shootings?
J.W.: No really fucked-up experiences yet. Maybe it's fucked up when a girl is sick or hangover and has no energy. It's rare for me.



FUC: You are one of the most talented new photographers around, do you feel the pressure?
J.W.: Thank you. I feel the pressure I make for myself. It's important to keep growing and discovering. Yes.

FUC: Tell us 3 differences btw working in Amsterdam and working in NYC.
J.W.: Working in Amsterdam is a much more personal experience. The modeling agencies are more like families. In America they are more like machines. Americans tend to be more prudish and afraid of sexuality. Dutch people can be conservative, but far far less than Americans. There is a dramatic difference in resources. NY has tons and tons of talent. Some resources are much more attainable in the Netherlands though ..



FUC: Who’s your hero?
J.W.: Sam Harris

FUC: Who’s the hottest model you’ve been working with?
J.W.: I don't work with hot models. I work with creatures and aliens. Kristina Krivomazova comes to mind.

FUC: Whats so special in the Dutch beauties?

FUC: Which movie would you recommend to our fucked-up readers?
J.W.: Sally Mann: What Remains



FUC: Which camera do you usually use?
J.W.: I use a Canon 5DMKII

FUC: What’s the strangest place you woke up after a “fucked-up” night?
J.W.: The middle of a California desert canyon.

FUC: Which are your projects for the near future?

FUC: How do you fight the GLOBAL WARMING?
J.W.: By educating people and stomping denialist tactics.

FUC: When da fuck will we meet-up?
J.W.: Whenever you're in NY.
