When you involve people, they come out, you see them, you get to see their sense of humor.

I was scared to do anything in the studio because it felt so claustrophobic. I wanted to be somewhere where things could happen and the subject wasn't just looking back at you.

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

A photograph is just a little, teeny-weeny, small piece of life. I feel like I see so much more than what I can actually get.

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.

In a portrait, you have room to have a point of view. The image may not be literally what's going on, but it's representative.

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