Wealthy people have not disappeared, they are just not so willing to show off their wealth.

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

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

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.

Color was the palette of commercial photography and snapshot photography.
