If you photograph for a long time, you get to understand such things as body language. I often do not look at people I photograph, especially afterwards. Also when I want a photo, I become somewhat fearless, and this helps a lot. There will always be someone who objects to being photographed, and when this happens you move on.

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.

Most of the pictures we consume are propaganda.

I am not a huge follower of music and tend to like one CD and play it to death, usually when I am washing up.

Dictators are interesting, no?

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.

Criticism is hypocrisy; society is hypocrisy. I'm a tourist. I'm a consumer. I do the things that I photograph and can be criticized of.
