I think the important decision for a photographer is to choose a subject that intensely interests him or her.

Actually, documentary pictures include every subject in the world - good, bad, indifferent. I have yet to see a fine photograph which is not a good document.

Photography helps people to see.

I wanted to combine science and photography in a sensible, unemotional way. Some people’s ideas of scientific photography is just arty design, something pretty. That was not the idea. The idea was to interpret science sensibly, with good proportion, good balance and good lighting, so we could understand it.

Photography doesn't teach you to express your emotions; it teaches you how to see.

Imagine a world without photography, one could only imagine.

The photographer is the contemporary being par excellence; through his eyes the now becomes the past.
