Andre Breton once said that a portrait should not only be an image but an oracle one questions, and that the photographer's aim should be a profound likeness, which physically and morally predicts the subject's entire future.

It is part of the photographer's job to see more intensely than most people do. He must have and keep in him something of the receptiveness of the child who looks at the world for the first time or of the traveler who enters a strange country.

A photographer must be prepared to catch and hold on to those elements which give distinction to the subject or lend it atmosphere.

Photographers should follow their own judgment, and not the fads and dictates of others. Photography is still a very new medium and everything is allowed and everything should be tried and dared... Photography has no rules. It is not a sport. It is the result which counts, no matter how it was achieved.

Photographers should follow their own judgment, and not the fads and dictates of others.

The photographer must possess and preserve the receptive faculties of a child who looks at the world for the first time.

Photography is still a very new medium and everything must be tried and dare.
