I have always loved reading, so was interested in the literary world, and took many literary portraits.

I'm not faithful to one particular medium, and it's what I try to teach to people who work with me.

Born Berlin 1931, Germany, father a British diplomat, mother an American artist. Educated at various schools all over the world. 1958 Settled down to live in London. 1966 Became interested in photography through photographing my young children. No formal training.

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

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

I have always been a very keen walker, though, and I often took a camera with me on my walks.
