For those aspiring to make a living from travel photography, it's a sad fact that the boring shots are the shots that are going to make you money.

All photography is propaganda.

Photography is the simplest thing in the world, but it is incredibly complicated to make it really work.

With photography, I like to create a fiction out of reality. I try and do this by taking society's natural prejudice and giving this a twist.

I think the ordinary is a very under-exploited aspect of our lives because it is so familiar.

You have to take a lot of bad pictures. Dont' be afraid to take bad pictures... You have to take a lot of bad pictures in order to know when you've got a good one.

You can read a lot about a country by looking at its beaches: across cultures, the beach is that rare public space in which all absurdities and quirky national behaviors can be found.

The easy bit is picking up a camera and pointing and shooting. But then you have to decide what it is you’re trying to say and express.

You can't learn passion, either you've got it or you haven't.

We are drowning in images. Photography is used as a propaganda tool, which serves to sell products and ideas. I use the same approach to show aspects of reality.

I am what I photograph.

...I put you on the pedestal - made you a saint - dare I blaspheme?...

The doctor asked what my diet was like and I had to sit down and realize it's not normal, and hadn't been normal for about 20 years.

A life without change is not a life; it is a stagnant pool.

To govern means to pillage, as everyone knows.

A sketch has charm because of its truth - not because it is unfinished.

Give your problem all the thought you possibly can before a solution is reached. But when the matter is settled and over with, worry not at all.

One who doesn't throw the dice can never expect to score a six.

As artists, we do the work that we do. Receiving an award or not receiving an award in no way diminishes one's talent or value.

I mean, I tend to do my own thing, and that usually crosses purposes with everyone around me.

Wherever the trout are, it's beautiful.
