Advertising art director turned photographer.
Street photography can be more than shapes, shadows, silhouettes, movement, colours. It can be rich in ideas and humour as Elliot Erwitt has shown his whole career.
My photographs were reviewed in a magazine in China recently and I got the Cantonese text translated. The reviewer said: “Sometimes it needs you to just enjoy (his work), sometimes it requires your eyes to listen to the jokes it’s telling you.”
I now call the way I work ‘Listening With My Eyes’.
I recently won the Leica / SPi Photographer of the Year Award 2018/19.
