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

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.

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.

Since I was a kid, I feel most confident when I'm reading.

I like thinking about the fragility of the human flesh and our bodies - our decay and eventual death.

Success to me is being a good person, treating people well.
