3- Do you think that, as a photographer, it is important to shoot a variety of subjects?

This is a question close to my heart. I started off as a photojournalist and then moved to advertising and editorial photography. As a visually motivated person, it’s important to understand that the canvas is as large, or as small, as you make it. Life is too short to concentrate only on a telephoto viewpoint. Variety is under-rated. People seem to forget that it is the spice of life! I have an intensely active mind and monotony sets in if I don’t keep broadening my horizon.

4- Many of your photographs of people are shot in black and white. Is there a reason for this?

There is, definitely. Let me put it this way… I believe in the theory of an alternate reality. With B&W, I get a peek into another world; a world without color. B&W is an abstraction and you arrive there by combining various tones of grey. After all, aren’t we, as humans, far more interesting because of the grey areas that exist in our personalities? We also refer to the mind as ‘grey matter’. Other than portraits, I use B&W because it works better for certain subjects. Having said that, I must add that this is a very complex subject and I am still trying to understand it.
