Photographs are interpretations of reality; as such, it is entirely subjective. Most photos are taken with an agenda, to sell something or to make a subject look better than it really is. Think of family snapshots - everyone is smiling and happy.

I am not as cross about Thatcher now as I was in the 80s. Begrudgingly, I can see that some of her policies helped modernise Britain.

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

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

I toyed with the notion of being an actor, and am so glad that this whim did not go any further.

Photography is Art and Art is Photography.
