When I was young we were always told to be ‘back & tight’ because that way you observe but you’re not a participant in terms of you and your camera. But as I started to evolve that didn’t feel quite right. What I wanted in the end was to be kinetic, I wanted to be on the shoulder of the action. I realized that I had to have a camera that was the me of it, that was engaged and fighting for access to what’s happening. When a shot isn’t good it’s because I don’t feel I’ve struggled to get there to see it and it looks like it’s been planned – I’ve loaded the dice.
