Press information is serious information, but press information is also manipulated by people who want you to think that this and that happened. So it's the old thing that you still cannot trust photography at all or you have to know who is distributing the photograph. In terms of cell phone photography, I think nobody cares about a photograph anymore because they're taking so many pictures just for fun.

You cannot explain the whole world in one photograph. Photography pretends. You can see everything that's in front of the camera, but there's always something beside it.

The people have to know what my portraits are like in order to behave in such a way that the result is one of my portraits.

I've been collecting photographs since I don't know when, for a long time, for different reasons. You can find them on eBay and when we were browsing through the shops there were images that attracted me. These are all historical images because these days they're all digital. They don't exist anymore.

I received my training at an art academy, so what I produce is art. That's what is artistic about my photographs.

There have to be at least two copies of a photograph, otherwise it’s not a photograph.

In photography, you always have both the medium and the depicted subject at the same time.
