Having people wait outside of my house sort of gives me a panic attack. I'm a believer in the concept that people should not be followed and photographed everywhere.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's people outside our house; you get followed by photographers; you can't go out and have a cup of coffee with a friend without someone coming up to you.
It is a scary world out there, and believe me that if someone were to try to come into my house, I want to be able to protect myself.
As a photographer who is constantly in violent, bloody situations where the instinct is to turn away, I am always trying to figure out how to make people not turn away.
I get panic attacks in big crowds.
I don't like when people seem to put every single thing on and just walk up and down outside waiting to be photographed. I think that's a bit lame.
I realize at one point, that I was being followed, and then I began to see the surveillance that was going past the road on my house. And so, these cars began to surveil me. People began to follow me around, and it did, it was very disrupting to think that your privacy was being violated, and for no reason that I could come up with.
Having people jumping in front of you taking a photo can be unnerving.
Part of me is afraid to get close to people because I'm afraid that they're going to leave.
So in some ways my life, my background has been isolating and I think I'm a bit more scared as a person. I don't walk alone or in the dark. If I go out the driver will wait for me to go into the house.
In social situations, when I'm surrounded by people, I become very shy. But if there's a camera in front of me, I feel free.
