My black-and-white work is more of a celebration and the color work became more of a critique of society.

For those aspiring to make a living from travel photography, it's a sad fact that the boring shots are the shots that are going to make you money.

The easy bit is picking up a camera and pointing and shooting. But then you have to decide what it is you’re trying to say and express.

Tourism is the biggest industry in the world.

With photography, I like to create a fiction out of reality. I try and do this by taking society's natural prejudice and giving this a twist.

I go straight in very close to people and I do that because it's the only way you can get the picture. You go right up to them. Even now, I don't find it easy. I don't announce it. I pretend to be focusing elsewhere. If you take someone's photograph it is very difficult not to look at them just after. But it's the one thing that gives the game away. I don't try and hide what I'm doing - that would be folly.

All photography is propaganda.
