LC: Is it difficult to shoot in so many genres? Do you get into a different groove for each?

RB: It's the same groove for everything except portraits. I only shoot someone I'm interested in. Usually, I have my own opinion of them, so I'll manipulate the shot into what I want them to project.

LC: With Vivienne Westwood, what are you trying to say with her looking off into the distance? That she's a visionary?

RB: Dignified, regal. I'm paying homage to her. I'm very respectful of who she is and wanted her to enjoy that picture as well.

LC: Did she?

RB: Yes.

LC: Is she as kooky as the press makes her out to be?

RB: She's an individual. I think we both admitted to each other that we're shy. I'm sure 99.9% of what's written about her is inaccurate.
