(Shock horror) He had a terrible childhood. Probably not so much violent as volatile, and his father just never really paid attention or encouraged him. Photography was probably something he did partly to get out of the house. And he started practising his bullshitting in the last few years at highschool, talking teachers into letting him use the darkroom.
I think he and Gwen would have made a decent couple - something about his overconfidence and Gwen's slight naivety that would go well together, though not really in the long run. Likewise, I think he and Mary Jane would have gotten along alright, if they'd met (y'know, without the black goo).
He was raised Catholic but never really that attached to his faith, except when he found he sort of needed it.
