In my work, as a writer, I only photograph, in words, what I see.

Pictures have a lot more power than text. Text is just a bunch of little symbols. You have to actually read it and imagine it, and even that can be censored. With pictures, it's a lot more immediate.

When I read something, I picture that scene in that detail. That becomes very similar to composing a photo in real life.

I write on a visual canvas, 'seeing' a scene in my thoughts before translating it into language, so I'm a visual junkie.

When I can see things through the lens of the director, it's like being able to see the whole puzzle - it's not just about my role, but the whole script.

As a visual storyteller, a lot is learning what to include so you're not being redundant between images and text.

Look and think before opening the shutter. The heart and mind are the true lens of the camera.

When I write, my brain moves faster than my hands so I'm always trying to picture things.

The combination of pictures and words together can be really effective, and I began to realise in my career that unless I wrote my own words, then my message was diluted.

I spend a lot of time writing. I get inspiration from texts rather than images.
