I never read theory. I think that was to my benefit.
If I want to take a picture, I take it no matter what.
I start to paint my walls. And I'm heavily influenced by films.
I also photographed Maggie Cheung - but these didn't develop into a friendship either.
Yes, photography saved my life. Every time I go through something scary, traumatic, I survive by taking pictures.
I'm very flattered when people I respect like my work. It's like a dream of a little kid when somebody I idolised likes my work.
