If there is any jarring at all in my photographs, it's because we are so used to ingesting pictures of everywhere looking beautiful.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
I know that if I were to take ugly photographs, no one would be interested in looking at them.
You must photograph where you are involved; where you are overwhelmed by what you see before you; where you hold your breath while releasing the shutter, not because you are afraid of jarring the camera, but because you are seeing with your guts wide open to the sweet pain of an image that is part of your life.
The more pictures you see, the better you are as a photographer.
With photography, I always think that it's not good enough.
I like photographs which leave something to the imagination.
Pictures must not be too picturesque.
People are at their best when they can be natural. And that's the hardest thing as a photographer.
I thought I was taking pictures of things that I hated. But there was something about these pictures. They were unexpectedly, disconcertingly glorious.
Our photographs are filthier and our stories are more disgusting. We make no effort to be artistic.
