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

If things are the way they are, why should I try to make them look different?

If you look at photographers who say, "I hate digital photography," they all use Photoshop, even if it's to make the sky just a little more blue than it was. Manipulation is very discrete and because it's so discrete nobody cares about it anymore. People accept manipulated photographs, I think.

Photographs are still always depictions, it's just that for my generation the model for the photograph is probably not reality any more, but images we have of that reality.

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.

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

I think it is an anarchistic idea to have information on the front and the back. Normally if you add information to information, you have more information.
