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

I think the ordinary is a very under-exploited aspect of our lives because it is so familiar.

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.

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

Choosing sepia is all to do with trying to make the image look romantic and idealistic. It's sort of a soft version of propaganda.

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.

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.
