I was like them. With these four words, Tom Wood tells us a lot about what binds him to those he has photographed in the streets of Liverpool since the 1970s, for more than thirty years. Trained in painting, he first used photography to reproduce his paintings, then very quickly for livelihood in the service of a wedding photographer.

When women look at women, the gazes are as varied as the personalities of the photographers and their models - anyone visiting Johanna Breede's gallery this summer can see this for themselves.

At the end of 1976, I shot The American Friend in Hamburg and Paris, with Bruno Ganz and Dennis Hopper. The screenplay was adapted from the novel Ripley’s Game, by Patricia Highsmith.

I would photograph different filming locations, then I would pin the Polaroids…
