-Employed with Magnum Photo Agency
-Studied at the ‘International Centre of Photography’ alongside Nan Goldin and Lenny Clark
-“I don’t see art as a competition or a spectacle but as a privileged space to give radical form to ones perspective on the world”
-Intelligence not cynicism
-“I look at art when it is shouted or vomited not conceptualised or marketed”
-“Intelligence and beauty do not compensate for passivity”
-“What Nan Goldin has taught me is to stand up, against all odds in a political and existential struggle for survival”
-“I try to express in the most precise and arbitrary way, the indefinable and unbearable beauty of keeping alive, physically , mentally and emotionally”
-“Step away from traditional documentary photography methods which I find are very frustrating and hypocritical/ There is a part of cowardice in the usual position of documentary photography in-between voyeurism and safety/ This is where exploitation lies.
