What inspires you?

Living: seeing, reading, feeling, touching, experiencing and sharing but mostly doing.

How do you set up a shot?

I’m a chameleon and as with most surviving professional photographers what day of the week are you talking about? Seriously, there is no single way that I set up a shot. That said, in my more recent personal work I really try not to set up a shot but let the shot find me. If I start off with too many preconceived constraints I find I can actually miss “the shot”.

In your opinion, what makes a good photograph?

A good photograph is a careful balance of technical prowess and idea/concept/feeling with neither overshadowing but supporting the other. A great photograph successfully communicates an idea/concept/feeling with technical prowess and resonates with the viewer.
