· Since the 1960s my favourite subject has been on-the-run street photography. Usually in London, but also Paris, or any other city: the streets, underground, art galleries or any place where people expect to be seen in public. Sometimes I choose not to publish a picture until it’s five or ten years old in consideration of how sensitive people are now about their identity.

· When in more rural areas I prefer landscape photography, shooting for large, often panoramic and beautiful scenes. Only occasionally do I pursue the kind of dystopian, post-industrial or abject subjects that have become so popular during more recent years.

· Also, I have always also enjoyed venturing beyond conventional photography, experimenting with photo contact-printed drawing, innovative merging of art and photography, and of course with the many avenues opened up by Adobe’s Photoshop. I have not as yet experimented with generative AI but if in future I do I'll certainly include that information with the picture.

· My favourite camera is a Leica and my aim is to obtain stunning digital images. But taking the picture for me is only half the rewarding job. The other half lies in making museum-quality prints to display on someone’s wall.”
