It wasn't until I realised that I could actually take nice photographs that I started to become passionate about it. I then got a few jobs working for magazines in London, and I would get terribly excited and intense about doing a job and taking photographs and looking through the lens to capture something amazing.

! discovered photography completely by chance. My wife is an architect; when we were young and living in Paris, she bought a camera to take pictures of buildings. For the first time, I looked through a lens - and photography immediately started to invade my life.

I can get obsessed by anything if I look at it long enough. That's the curse of being a photographer.

Aside from my modelling, by the early Nineties I was also starting to work as a photographer, which I loved.

I went into photography because it seemed like the perfect vehicle for commenting on the madness of today's existence.

I chose photography over writing. I had to make a living.

I came to photography by accident.

I liked the idea of being a photographer, just that you take this one picture of this one thing that'll never happen again - it's a bit weird when you think about it.

Photography has been a passion of mine since I was 15. After my kids were born I found myself incorporating my photography into different art endeavors and from there it just blossomed.

I consider myself very lucky. I'm known for photographing celebrities, but, in a nutshell, my first love is photography.
