Just as Renaissance artists provided narratives for the era they lived in, so do I. I'm always looking beyond the surface. I've done that ever since I first picked up a camera.

I was always painting when I was a kid. But then when I handled a camera when I was 17, that was it for me. I loved photography. I would work 4 or 5 hours a day. It was like a calling.

I've never wanted to be part of an inner circle of any scene. I've always been an outsider looking to question and subvert.

My dream since I was a kid was to show in a gallery.

We go up just into space - space is most commonly accepted to be 100 kilometres above the earth's surface, and we go up just beyond that to about 350,000 ft.

The minute I went into business, I was a success, and I've done well ever since.
