Every time my photos came back from the lab, it was like Christmas: I'd open up the box and see what kind of magical transformation these guys had made to my dodgy negatives. I was fortunate to be introduced to two printers in London: Mike Spry, who did all my black-and-white work, and Brian Dowling, who printed all my colour work. Since this was before the advent of digital, the turning point was learning to get my negatives printed properly.
I'm so grateful to them – they gave me my first assignments.
It wasn't until the mid-1990s that I started to take things more seriously and began taking self-portraits to include in my own CDs.Īround the same time, I'd done some photographs that were published in the Canadian fashion magazine Flare and that led to my shooting a story for Marie Claire UK. What inspires your work The work itself is very inspiring. Some of the on-the-road photographs are too silly to publish – like the shots of my band and me running around naked doing stupid things.

It gave a different perspective on the making of the music.Īt the time, it never dawned on me that photography could be a career or that I could do it for anything besides the love and the comedy of it. When I was putting together the re-release of my 1984 album Reckless, I went back into my archives and pulled out all the photographs I'd shot from those sessions. I remember I was about to embark on my first tour and thought to myself: "I've got to get a camera to record this." Prior to that, I'd just used my parents' "snap" cameras, but I got a Canon and documented as much of what I was doing as I could over many years. I've been interested in photography for a long time – it's been quite a journey.
