I am concerned that the subtlety is being lost and every film tends to look very contrasty and saturated.

Every shot I have ever made has been a compromise in some way. No image has ever been as good as the one I envisioned in my mind's eye.

I think of filmmaking as a form of communication. Maybe it's also an art, but that's for somebody else to decide.

Someone said to me, early on in film school... if you can photograph the human face you can photograph anything, because that is the most difficult and most interesting thing to photograph.

I never really considered film as a career, but I knew I didn't want to be a builder. So I went to art college, and it just gradually happened.

I do miss the idea of the crew getting together to watch dailies after work. I will usually get selected dailies printed on film especially for the early part of a shoot as HD dailies really don't tell me much photographically.

When I first started, I saw myself shooting documentaries or making documentaries, which is what I did, mostly, for a number of years. So it was quite a surprise how I found myself shooting features. It was like my wildest dreams as a kid collided.
