I think that the photographer must completely control his picture and bring to it all his personality, and in this area most photographs never transcend being just snapshots. When a great photographer does infuse the snapshot with his personality and vision, it can be transformed into something truly moving and beautiful.

Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be.

I believe in invisible; I do not believe in visible.

The majority of photographers focus on the obvious. They believe and accept what their eyes tell them, and yet eyes know nothing.

To photograph reality is to photograph nothing.

I am interested in the nature of things. The nature of something is quite different from the way it looks.

I think photographers are too polite. There is not enough anger in photography; it's pretty much trivialized.
