Most of the pictures we consume are propaganda.

The thing about tourism is that the reality of a place is quite different from the mythology of it.

Photography is Art and Art is Photography.

Dictators are interesting, no?

The knack is to find your own inspiration, and take it on a journey to create work that is personal and revealing.

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.

In 1982 I bought the newly released Makina Plaubel 55mm fixed-lens camera. With this shift from 35mm to 6 x 7, I also changed from black and white to color. Later that year, I started my project on New Brighton called The Last Resort. However, the first project I shot in colour was composed of urban scenes from Liverpool. This image was on the second roll of film. It's the first good photo I made in this new chapter of my work.
