Early on I buckled down and learned a lot about lighting. I felt that was important. The photographer Hiro once said to me, when I was starting out: "Learn to work in a studio and you'll never grow hungry." I'm not sure that is entirely true, but I took it to heart and I learned to light properly.
If you have ever had a shepherd's pie before, and you eat it and you think, "That was good, I wouldn't mind having that again," well, taking up photography felt as natural and good as that. It was a way of making pictures almost instantly and it felt right.
