For our excellence Pierre Woodman,

I created this thread cause seeing your long carreer in the business of sex, fashion and tv as a director, photographer and camera work nobody has ever asked you from where did you learnt all this knowledge.

Did you ever study or have some kind of degree for this?
Where did you learn all this shooting knowledge?

I actually ask you cause the other day I tried to film as you do in your work my personal sexual life with my girlfriend... but I realize isn't just putting a camera in your hand and put on the recording button as many people may thinks... Even I that I have studies and experience on photography I couldn't do nothing closer to what you do.

I left school at 16 and started to work as a barman.
I have the smallest degree someone can have in France ( BEPC ) no more ...

I got at 9 years old a photo camera called lubitel from a photographer friend of my father and he learned me how to shoot and how to developp black and white inside the black room.
So for many years I was passionned by photography. Later when I was is police I got an official degree as operator photographer and I was able to request a work in specific crime branch but never tried to get the degree for enter this place.

I never learned anything about cinema, just have had the chance to travel a lot for Hot Video magazine and do report about people shooting porn. I have eyes and ears, so I used it. At first I never wanted to do video but after the death of Michel Ricaud I was obliged by Private to try it and I decided to not shoot like everyone was doing, ( cut to cut pictures was boring for me ) and I decided to shot "long take" because it gives opportunity to decide on what you want jerk off ...

Just a BEPC, but you lived a life with so much meets, so much girls, so muchs travels/cars, (never was unemployed more than 24h ) ect ect, and also not having the "big head", what a fascinating character you are Pierre and also what a destiny ! just keep make us "dream", like mister Lucas would say, the force is so strong with you
