The wandering photographer sees the same show that everyone else sees. He, however, stops to watch it.
Edouard BoubatI think that the photos that we like were made when the photographer knew how to disappear. If there were a secret, certainly that would be it.
Edouard BoubatA photographer is a witness. He has a moral duty. Every picture must be true and honest. I believe a photographer's strength is his ability to accurately record reality. There are photographers who think they are lucky if they find unusual or special subject. But it is never the subject that is so marvelous. It is how alive and real the photographer can make it.
Edouard BoubatThere are certain pictures I can never take. We turn on the TV and are smothered with cruelty and suffering and I don't need to add to it. So I just photograph peaceful things. A vase of flowers, a beautiful girl. Sometimes, through a peaceful face, I can bring something important into the world.
