He says he is astonished by the quality of the image files he is able to produce and that ?going digital? has not led to him taking more pictures. ?I don?t look at the back of the camera after I take a picture. I only look [at the end of a day?s shoot] very quickly to see if there is a problem.? After each trip he returned to his Paris office with around 10,000 pictures. He edits all of the images himself, but not on screen. In fact, he never uses a computer. He has contact sheets produced and edits with a loupe. He then produces his own small prints and edits again. The best images from each trip, around 100, are chosen and a physical negative is created by the Dupon photo lab in Paris. They are then printed on 30x40cm silver paper and checked again, with a further negative being produced if necessary. ?The negatives are so perfect that we can create a digital negative from the physical one and start the whole process again,? he reveals."
