| Introduction | I take photos of anyone I see on the street who I find interesting for whatever reason, and who agrees to be photographed. I never take sneaky and only rarely unnoticed shots. For me a portrait is about a mutual transaction. If they're not into it, nor am I. When I take a photo, if the person seems reluctant and isn't giving me anything, I thank them but immediately delete the image. I take every communication seriously and it spoils the photo for me if I feel they weren't completely happy, as if I've stolen something. I also offer to send prints if people are interested, to say thanks. I'm happiest when I spot someone or a group of people and I know what a brilliant image they'll make and they agree. That is a great moment. |

| Favorite music | Too much to mention, but mainly pop and rock with a bit of soul. |
| Favorite books | Way too many to mention, mainly novels, often based somewhere foreign, I like to learn as I read, but only if I don't feel like I'm being forcefed. |
