Philip-Lorca diCorcia's Test Polaroid




"When I picked each location, I didn't know, at that point, who would be the subject. For this one, I chose as a background the famous Capitol Records building, which looks like a stack of LPs. I set up the tripod and lights, then left my assistant waiting while I got in a car and approached one of the men standing around. I had a thing I would say: "I'm not interested in sex, but I will pay you the same amount of money as you would get for the lowest common denominator sex act to take your picture." And that's how I met this guy."
