Artist's Comments

first off, i don't get the fascination. i don't. really don't. yes, she's nice. yes, i've known her since she was 17.

what's funny is that we have this term: "Carpet Trash." not nice. but neither is hollywood. or life in any big city for that matter.

she'd show up and it'd be like, "fuck me. paris is here. do i really need to make a photo?"

but as time went on ... it got more interesting. she used to travel as a pair ... with her sister. now she's pretty much solo.

what's interesting is this girl has made me more money -- mostly in domestic markets but also internationally -- than any one single subject. my agents license my rights to photos with her in it ... like no other.

she's nice.

i still don't understand the fascination.

seemed like ... sex tape ... BOOM ... "simple life" ... KA-FUCKING-BAM...

i shot this exclusively over the weekend.

for a magazine ... but their embargo ended yesterday ...

and i log onto my agent's system ... and ... again ... she's the NUMBER ONE DOWNLOADED entertainment subject...

God love her.

I sure hope he does.

in a sick way i do as well ... but i'm not getting into that.

canon eos 1d mark 2 with 70-200mm/2.8L at f5.6 (wanted a lot of sharpness to the face so the end-user uses it BIG for more fees). 1/200th. perhaps. 200 iso. minor levels and contrast. minor crop of purposeful negative space (for text).

I’m only happy when it’s complicated
And though I know you can’t appreciate it
I’m only happy when it rains
You know I love it when the news is bad
Why it feels so good to feel so sad

I don't understand the fascination either at all. I think it was the sex tape. shows what kind of society we live in, really. I'm not a fan...but this is a nice shot of her. I've said this before, you have a way of taking celebrity photos that strips down the glitz and glamour of it and reveals them for what they really are...people.

we all remember that they are just people like us, right? really rich people with nice things, yes. but still people.

sometimes I think we in general forget that.

cheers - great capture, as always.

:heart:

Funny. She definitively does not look as sexy as the shots you can see in the internet.

Maybe your eye on her.

psst, its 'ma petite paris' ;) 'Mon' is only used when its for a male.

Great portrait! love the green background and the soft lighting... well focused also.
I just wish there wasn't the reflection of those two girls on her glasses... it's a bit distracting... but it's a great portrait bro! ;)

interesting picture of her really, she does look all whorey as usually, i think you did her justice

touch me
:iconmike:
if she was not paris hilton, i probably would not look twice.

the fact that she is paris hilton makes me look only because she's famous.

I'm not interested in her fame, but more why she is famous.

now i avoid 'super star' obsession... but i always like to know a few, and have... as i am sure you have... but i would LOVE to hear some reason why i should look twice at miss hilton.

:D
