He went on to attend law school Aix-Marseille University in Aix-en-Provence, France and received his French law degree in 1964. The following year, he moved to Paris where he joined a French law firm while working on his doctorate. In 1967 he was hired to help run the French model agency, Dorian Leigh. It was during this time that he became fascinated with taking pictures and grew to be close friends with photographer Louis Faurer who had seen some of his early images and encouraged him to take up photography professionally. Faurer and, to some extent Robert Frank with whom he also became acquainted at the time, later became his mentors.
