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.

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.

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.

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

Taking photos is a form of collecting.

To ask people's permission to take their pictures? Sometimes it feels right to ask, but I will not ask, unless it is essential to do so. If you asked all the time, you would miss everything. With the exception of portraits, it is generally bad news if people are looking at the camera.

The thing about tourism is that the reality of a place is quite different from the mythology of it.
