I am not interested in rules or conventions. Photography is not a sport.
If there is any method in the way I take pictures, I believe it lies in this: See the subject first. Do not try to force it to be a picture of this, that or the other thing. Stand apart from it. Then something will happen. The subject will reveal itself.
Photography is still a very new medium and everything must be tried and dare.
A good nude photograph can be erotic, but certainly not sentimental or pornographic.
In my portraits I try to avoid the fleeting expression and vivacity of a snapshot.
It is the gift of seeing the life around them clearly and vividly, as something that is exciting in its own right. It is an innate gift, varying in intensity with the individual's temperament and environment.
