"They f--- on film," says the photographer, "so there are not a lot of secrets left." Nonetheless, Greenfield-Sanders has produced a collection of images that intriguingly unites high and low culture-he describes the project as "class meets ass." The result is the most-talked-about photo book of the year, XXX: 30 Porn-Star Portraits (Bulfinch Press, ).Its release this fall coincided with a major exhibition at New York City's Mary Boone Gallery, a behind-the-scenes film airing on HBO, and even a soundtrack CD from the film, attesting to the modern cultural allure of porn.And they're very open-there's no spin with them, which I loved. Did that openness affect how you worked with them as a portraitist? A lot of factors caused these pictures to end up looking the way they do.


Boogie Nights came out with mainstream actors like Mark Wahlberg and Julianne Moore playing porn stars.
My first idea was to photograph them clothed, not naked, because I thought, from watching the film, that they might be interesting as people.
I'd never thought of them as people before that-you objectify them, because that's what porn does.
I think it's interesting that these people almost all look more relaxed without clothes than with. How does this project fit into your entire body of work? I did a series on artists from the 1950s, a series on art critics, a series on the East Village art scene. It's interesting to think about when you did this-the Bush administration had come in, the religious right was in ascendency, yet porn was never bigger. I don't think porn will ever be mainstream, but porn stars as celebrities are.
I have a theory about how that happened: It's because of Howard Stern.
