The instrument is not the camera but the photographer.

I think if I ever get satisfied, I’ll have to stop. It’s the frustration that drives you.

What you need to be a good photographer is an overwhelming curiosity and a good digestion.

I don't see anybody as either ordinary or extraordinary. I see them simply as people in front of my lens.

You can't make a great musician or a great photographer if the magic isn't there.

I didn't want to be a woman photographer. That would limit me. I wanted to be a photographer who was a woman, with all the world open to my camera.

A studio session ... provides the greatest chance for control. Even though there is total freedom, I still dislike studio photography and the contrived images that usually stem from this genre.
