Where did your love for photographing people in public and on the streets first begin?
I started photographing eight years ago, when my daughter took me to my first photography class as a present for my 60th birthday. It was the summer of 2013, and the course was given by Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb in Barcelona. "Oh God," I replied to my daughter Gwen when she asked me to go, but I went for the fun of it. I had no idea how to use the camera and I was obviously the worst in the class, but for some reason I don't know, I really found it fascinating. It was very funny. I had never thought of doing photography, but something just clicked and I loved it.
Your images have such a consistent look. What is your favourite type of light to shoot in?
