Street Photography Now (II): David Gibson

b. Ilford, Essex, UK, 1957, lives in London


'If there is one sound piece of advice, which is to myself as much as anyone else, it is the potential of projects or prolonged themes. It's the equivalent of having a dog that needs to go for a walk. Projects need walking.'

'I probably spend more time looking at photographs than I do actually taking them. My shelves at home are lined with photography books.'
