Quote

I'm not as good a writer as I'd like to be; therefore, I like to use images to tell stories.

Even the pictures I was doing at college - a little narrative based on a butterfly catcher, or a chimney sweep - the images were always telling stories. They were all scenarios and moods which I storyboarded and worked through - it's exactly what I do now.

I just love photographing things and putting them together to tell a story.

If anybody reads a story in a magazine or book, different pictures compete in their minds.

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

I like all kinds of stories, and I usually work on several stories at once. When I run out of gas on one, I start work on the other.

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

When I work on stories, I tend to be pretty obsessive.

I've created a vocabulary of different styles. I draw from many different ways to take a picture. Sometimes I go back to reportage, to journalism.

I try and make little stories. Whether it's with a pencil or with bits of records, it's really the same thing.
