From the moment the tourist enters the site, everyone has to be photographed in front of every feature of note.... The photographic record of the visit has almost destroyed the very notion of actually looking.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
