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

All photography is propaganda.

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.

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.

Necessity will reign if the domain of kingdom love is realized

I have a rather naive approach, I think, to my job.

I prefer the school of life.

My mind was in my heart, anchored like a bright kite in a safe place.

You know, my background, I was at a non-profit for years.

Clever girl. You play with fire because you want to be burnt.

I understand the lifelong scars born by women who are victims of assault and abuse.

What we are really living for is the experience of life, both the pain and the pleasure.

I love the church, the church that God is establishing, that Jesus died for, so I'll never have any negative things to say about His church.

I never had a role that I set out for. I always wanted to have a body of work that I'm proud of. Save for two projects, which will never pass my lips, I'm happy with what I've done.
