I Can't Hold A Camera Anymore.

If The Chemistry Is Right Between Star And Photographer And The Geometry Of The Pictures Pleases The Star, Often The Two People End Up With A Long-term Professional Friendship During Which They Continue To Work Together And To Produce Highly Personal Images.

The Instrument Is Not The Camera But The Photographer.

I Look For A Sense Of Reality With Everything I Did. I Didn't Work In A Studio, I Didn't Light Anything. I Found A Way Of Working Which Pleased Me Because I Didn't Have To Frighten People With Heavy Equipment. It Was That Little Black Box And Me And £5 Worth Of Film In My Pocket Or Maybe It Was Only £2 In Those Days.

Recording Sessions Were Stimulating To Photograph, Because Everything Was In Motion: The Subject, The Musicians, The Technicians And The Photographer. You Needed Fast Reflexes To Keep Up With Moving Targets, And Sensitivity And Skill To Get The Pictures While Keeping Out Of The Performers' Eyeline So As Not To Break Their Concentration.

I Realize That I Had The Best Of Serious Picture Journalism.
