Look at lots of exhibitions and books, and don't get hung up on cameras and technical things. Photography is about images.

I don't get wrapped up in technique and the like.

It was 1966 by the time I started taking pictures seriously and books, newspapers and magazines of the time were full of great pictures that helped to inspire me.

Born Berlin 1931, Germany, father a British diplomat, mother an American artist. Educated at various schools all over the world. 1958 Settled down to live in London. 1966 Became interested in photography through photographing my young children. No formal training.

Maybe black and white is the best medium for landscapes, I don't know.

I have always been a very keen walker, though, and I often took a camera with me on my walks.
