Good composition is merely the strongest way of seeing.

The camera sees more than the eye, so why not make use of it?

No photographer is better than the simplest of cameras

When a photographer masters the tools and processes of the art, then the quality of the work is only limited by his creative vision.

The camera should be used for a recording of life, for rendering the very substance and quintessence of the thing itself, whether it be polished steel or palpitating flesh.

For photography is a way to capture the moment - not just any moment, but the important one, this one moment out of all time when your subject is revealed to the fullest - that moment of perfection which comes once and is not repeated.

My work is never intellectual. I never make a negative unless emotionally moved by my subject.
