It’s amazing the number of opportunities that I'm getting now where I’m asked ‘oh can you just photograph yourself with this’. And its products that I’d never, in my life, consider using. No, that's a very easy trap to fall into. Mainly because it completely detracts from the photography if I'm just photographing anything that gets thrown at me. Legitimacy is kind of important. I'd rather turn down work like that. I could be making a fortune shooting weddings and families, but that doesn't represent me as a person.
