Photography is Art and Art is Photography.

All photography is propaganda.

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

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.

Perhaps my number one rule is: Don't try to make a profit on a bad trade, just try to find the best place to get out.

Whispering makes a narrow place narrower.

Motherhood changed me because it is so fundamental what you're doing for another person. And you are able to do it even though it takes a lot.

The creative act arises out of the struggle of human beings with and against that which limits them.

People spend money when and where they feel good.
