I’m not just telling about people’s suffering, I’m trying to make these beautiful portraits, these environmental portraits that show the interaction of the person in their space. My work, it’s not something you’d put over your sofa. It’s not traditionally beautiful work. That’s why I do the books. This is my seventh book.
