All I wanted was to connect my moods with those of Paris. Beauty pains and when it pained most, I shot.

You don’t take pictures, the good ones happen to you.

I am not interested in shooting new things - I am interested to see things new.

You become things, you become an atmosphere, and if you become it, which means you incorporate it within you, you can also give it back. You can put this feeling into a picture. A painter can do it. And a musician can do it and I think a photographer can do that too and that I would call the dreaming with open eyes.

My theory of composition? Simple: do not release the shutter until everything in the viewfinder feels just right.

Style has no formula, but it has a secret key. It is the extension of your personality. The summation of this indefinable net of your feeling, knowledge and experience. Take colour as a totality of relations within a framecolour is joy. One does not think joy. One is carried by it.

Don't park... Arrival is the death of inspiration.
