With photography, I like to create a fiction out of reality. I try and do this by taking society's natural prejudice and giving this a twist.
The thing about tourism is that the reality of a place is quite different from the mythology of it.
We are drowning in images. Photography is used as a propaganda tool, which serves to sell products and ideas. I use the same approach to show aspects of reality.
Photographs are interpretations of reality; as such, it is entirely subjective. Most photos are taken with an agenda, to sell something or to make a subject look better than it really is. Think of family snapshots - everyone is smiling and happy.
