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

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.

What drove me and kept me going over the decades? If I had to use a single word, it would be 'curiosity.

It doesn't matter if you use a box camera or you use a Leica; the important thing is what motivates you when you are photographing.

Themes recur again and again in my work.

I can't hold a camera anymore.

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.
