...beautiful youngsters step on the stage clad in Spanish-like garb, the room went silent. The pair strikes their first pose and when Juan and Gennaro’s “España Cañí” starts playing, they begin a paso doble. With the man moving as the matador and the woman flowing as his red cape, the two weave a passionate dance of give and take, push and pull.

Larking about like a fifth Beatle, he's got a casual swagger that says, This is my town. So does his brutal way with the anorexic goddesses who pose for him. In a shoot with the model Verushka, he shouts insults, whispers endearments, straddles her like a rough lover with his camera clicking away at her simulated passion, then immediately stops and walks away when he has the shots he needs...
