Everyone has a point of view. Some people call it style, but what we're really talking about is the guts of a photograph. When you trust your point of view, that's when you start taking pictures.

I actually love talking about taking pictures, and I think that helps everyone.

I don't think there is anything wrong with white space. I don't think it's a problem to have a blank wall.

What I end up shooting is the situation. I shoot the composition and my subject is going to help the composition or not.

Everyone keeps asking you for pictures, and after a while you get tired of that. I always say, They are in the archives.

I think self-portraits are very difficult. I’ve always seen mine as straightforward, very stripped down, hair pulled back. No shirt. Whatever light happened to be available. I’d want it to be very graphic – about darkness and light. No one else should be there, but I’m scared to do it by myself. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. The whole idea of a self-portrait is strange. I’m so strongly linked to how I see through the camera that to get to the other side of it would be difficult. It would be as if I were taking a photograph in the dark.

Nature is so powerful, so strong. It takes you to a place within yourself.
