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.

I am not a huge follower of music and tend to like one CD and play it to death, usually when I am washing up.

All photography is propaganda.

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.

My black-and-white work is more of a celebration and the color work became more of a critique of society.

Color was the palette of commercial photography and snapshot photography.

I am away so much, so I rarely see live TV, but I use iPlayer to catch programmes.
