My aim is increasingly to make my photographs look so much like photographs [rather than paintings, etchings, etc.] that unless one has eyes and sees, they won't be seen - and still everyone will never forget having once looked at them.

I have a vision of life, and I try to find equivalents for it in the form of photographs.

For that is the power of the camera: seize the familiar and give it new meanings, a special significance by the mark of a personality.

Photographers must learn not to be ashamed to have their photographs look like photographs.

All art, like all love, is rooted in heartache.

There are many schools of painting. Why should there not be many schools of photographic art? There is hardly a right and a wrong in these matters, but there is truth, and that should form the basis of all works of art.

Wherever there is light, one can photograph.
