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.

I can't hold a camera anymore.

The instrument is not the camera but the photographer.

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

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

I realize that I had the best of serious picture journalism.

I look for a sense of reality with everything I did. I didn't work in a studio, I didn't light anything. I found a way of working which pleased me because I didn't have to frighten people with heavy equipment. It was that little black box and me and £5 worth of film in my pocket or maybe it was only £2 in those days.
