Look at lots of exhibitions and books, and don't get hung up on cameras and technical things. Photography is about images.

I like photographs which leave something to the imagination.

But I was, and still am, an avid reader and so when I first started I chose to photograph many of the great writers in this country to try and earn a living.

You can't expect to take a definitive image in half an hour. It takes days, often years.

I don't get wrapped up in technique and the like.

I've been working with the land for most of my life; walking it and photographing it. And I love it to bits.
