Part of the role of photography is to exaggerate, and that is an aspect that I have to puncture. I do that by showing the world as I really find it.

I always take photographs when I attend a funeral. Most people there know who I am and expect me to be there with my camera.

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 am a big fan of Jim Jarmusch and I do love big screen documentaries.

Most of the photographs people take with their cameraphones are of little value in terms of documentary.

Color was the palette of commercial photography and snapshot photography.

I avoid Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, and if I need to communicate with someone, I email direct.
