How and when did you become interested in photography?

I became aware of photography in the mid 1980s through a chance meeting with the assistant of a famous fashion photographer.

Is there any artist/photographer who inspired your art?

My main inspiration comes from painters such as Lucian Freund or Egon Schiele.

Why do you work in black and white rather than colour?

I started with black and white photography as it gave me full control over the results through the use of various darkroom processes. I then turned to colour for almost a decade, but have found my way back to black and white during the last few years.

How much preparation do you put into taking a photograph/series of photographs?

I think I am one of the most analogue digital photographers. My creative process is very instinctive, I trust my gut feeling.

Where is your photography going? What projects would you like to accomplish?

I am currently working on several, quite diverse, book projects that I intend to publish this year.
