It's far better to shoot a good picture than a good-looking picture.

Part of the role of photography is to exaggerate, and that is an aspect that I have to puncture. I do that by showing the world as I really find it.

Photography can be a volatile situation. It can be very potent.

Photography used to be not for the faint of heart. Its rigors would weed out the not-so-committed pretty quickly. You had to crank the f-stop ring yourself!

I've been working with photography for many years.

Photography is a way of putting distance between myself and the work which sometimes helps me to see more clearly what it is that I have made.

I never tried to revolutionise photography; I just do what I do and keep my fingers crossed that people will like it.

Photography is very presumptuous. Photographers are always photographing other people's lives - something they know nothing about - and drawing great inferences into it.

It's good that everyone has an opportunity to take pictures, the chance to be a photographer. Some are good, too. But the bad thing is that it's very, very difficult to take a great picture. Everyone can take a good picture - even a child - but it's hard to make a great one.

There are some elements of digital photography that I don't really like, such as the fact that you see the results immediately.
