For those aspiring to make a living from travel photography, it's a sad fact that the boring shots are the shots that are going to make you money.

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.

Magnum photographers were meant to go out as a crusade ... to places like famine and war and ... I went out and went round the corner to the local supermarket because this to me is the front line.

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.

I am kept awake by the list of possibilities for shooting more photos and deciding what I must prioritise next.

I go straight in very close to people and I do that because it's the only way you can get the picture. You go right up to them. Even now, I don't find it easy. I don't announce it. I pretend to be focusing elsewhere. If you take someone's photograph it is very difficult not to look at them just after. But it's the one thing that gives the game away. I don't try and hide what I'm doing - that would be folly.

Tourism is the biggest industry in the world.
