More quotes by Jock Sturges
In fact, I don’t believe I’m guilty of any crimes, but I’ve always been drawn to and fascinated by physical, sexual, and psychological change, and there’s an erotic aspect to that.
Jock Sturges
Every child is going to grow up. You can see it happen in the books: They get older and older and belong to themselves to a greater and greater extent.
Jock Sturges
I'd rather get back to making art than talk about it.
Jock Sturges
I use an 8 x 10 view camera. All other cameras are just toys.
Jock Sturges
I'm guilty of extraordinary naivete, I suppose. But it's a naivete that I really don't want to abandon, not even now.
Jock Sturges
We live in an age where anonymity is growing in magnitude like a bomb going off.
Jock Sturges
As soon as you forbid something, you make it extraordinarily appealing. You also bring shame in as a phenomenon.
Jock Sturges
No two people take on the information of being admirable and being admired in the same way.
Jock Sturges
If somebody's pointing a trembling finger at your pants and saying you shouldn't be doing that, follow that finger back, go up the arm and look at the head that's behind it, because there's almost always something fairly woolly in there.

I will always admit immediately to what’s obvious, which is that homo sapiens is inherently erotic or sensual from birth.
Jock Sturges
My hope is that the work is in some way counter-pinup. A pinup asks you to suspend interest in who the person is and occupy yourself entirely with looking at the body and fantasizing about what you could do with that body, completely ignoring how the person might feel about it.
Jock Sturges
Physical beauty is such a strange thing.
Jock Sturges
I didn't think there was anything more or less obscene about any part of the body. Now, I recognize that there are certain postures and angles that make people see red, which are evidence of original sin or something, and I avoid that.
Jock Sturges
What I'm good at is making art.
Jock Sturges
The truth is that from birth on we are, to one extent or another, a fairly sensual species.
Jock Sturges
The transactions between me and the people that I photograph are very very collaborative.
Jock Sturges
When I started doing my work years ago, I had doubts as to whether the informed consent question was answerable.
Jock Sturges
There's no particular evidence that any of the lower mammals or any of the other animals have any interest in aesthetics at all. But Homo sapiens does, always has and always will.
Jock Sturges
Before, I'd photograph anything. I didn't think there was anything more or less obscene about any part of the body.
Jock Sturges
I am fascinated by the human body and all its evolutions.
