Bruce Webber on Cameras

From ‘Specialten’ the bi-monthly publication founded in 2002 by Marcus Black and Fabio Sebastianelli.

People always ask me like what cameras are you using these days?

I like to toy around with cameras. I have some beautiful old rolliflexes I have one right here in this case. I use a Pentax 6 x 7 It's a medium format camera and I like to use it almost like a 35mm camera very easy like that.

Cameras are a little bit like guitars. You sort of the way you touch it .
You know it has a feeling,  I thought the camera is very human in the way it react to somebody. Sometimes it really likes a person sometimes it doesn't.
I know it sound strange you know I was just photographing Kate Moss recently and I realised that all my different formats really loves photographing her because she just brings this romance into everything.
It's not just because she's pretty or has like a sweet body or anything I just feel like that it's that camera has a feeling for her you know.
