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

I looked around at what my colleagues were doing, and asked myself, 'What relationship has it with what's going on?' I found there was a great distortion of contemporary life. Photographers were interested only in certain things. A visually interesting place, people who were either very rich or very poor, and nostalgia.

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