A lot can be told from what happens in between the main moments.

There must be a reason why photographers are not very good at verbal communication. I think we get lazy.

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

I admired the work of photographers like Beaton, Penn, and Avedon as much as I respected the grittier photographers such as Robert Frank. But in the same way that I had to find my own way of reportage, I had to find my own form of glamour.

I didn't want to let women down. One of the stereotypes I see breaking is the idea of aging and older women not being beautiful.

The camera makes you forget you're there. It's not like you are hiding but you forget, you are just looking so much.

When I'm asked about my work, I try to explain that there is no mystery involved. It is work. But things happen all the time that are unexpected, uncontrolled, unexplainable, even magical. The work prepares you for that moment. Suddenly the clouds roll in and the soft light you longed for appears.
