I like to talk to people and, obviously, to photograph them.

I have a genuine philosophy. I do not want to make negative pictures about people, and so I do everything I can to help make them feel comfortable in front of the camera. That is what is going to control your picture, because you are alone if your subject is not with you. And that's the simple answer to getting a good picture.

I believe Photoshop is in some way the contemporary darkroom, the creative area that all photographers have available today.
