—I draw my inspiration from all aspects of the world around me. I'm endlessly inspired by the rich world of fine art paintings. Equally, I study the Magnum photography greats and await the World Press Photo Exhibition each year with bated breath. These all tie into my primary inspiration at the centre of my work: you and your love.
