I can do something with almost anything I see. Everything is still interesting to me.

I am not a surrealist. I am only a realist. All this group - surrealists - use my name. No, no, I am realist.

Everything is a subject. Every subject has a rhythm. To feel it is the raison detre. The photograph is a fixed moment of such a raison detre, which lives on in itself.

I just walk around, observing the subject from various angles until the picture elements arrange themselves into a composition that pleases my eye.

I do not document anything, I give an interpretation.

You do not have to imagine things; reality gives you all you need.

For this very reason I refuse all the tricks of the trade and professional virtuosity which could make me betray my career. As soon as I find a subject which interests me, I leave it to the lens to record it truthfully. Look at the reporters and at the amateur photographer! They both have only one goal; to record a memory or a document. And that is pure photography.
