I've created a vocabulary of different styles. I draw from many different ways to take a picture. Sometimes I go back to reportage, to journalism.

...I gave up on being a journalist - I thought having a point of view was more important than being objective.

I fight to take a good photograph every single time.

I've always cared more about taking pictures than about the art market.

A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.

There's an idea that it's hard to be a woman artist. People assume that women have fewer opportunities, less power. But it's not any harder to be a woman artist than to be a male artist. We all take what we are given and use the parts of ourselves that feed the work. We make our way. Photographers, men and women, are particularly lucky. Photography lets you find yourself. It is a passport to people and places and to possibilities.

Things happen in front of you. That's perhaps the most wonderful and mysterious aspect of photography.
