I don't think there is anything wrong with white space. I don't think it's a problem to have a blank wall.

My early childhood equipped me really well for my portrait work: The quick encounter, where you are not going to know the subject for very long. These days I am much more comfortable with the fifteen minute relationship, than I am with a life long relationship.

You don't have to sort of enhance reality. There is nothing stranger than truth.

You have trust in what you think. If you splinter yourself and try to please everyone, you can’t. It’s important to stay the course. I don’t think I would have lasted this long if I’d listened to anyone. You have to listen somewhat and then put that to the side and know that what you do matters.

Photography is not something you retire from.

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

The subjects felt more comfortable if they played the role than if they had to be themselves.
