If you are careful with people, they will offer you part of themselves. That is the big secret.
Eve ArnoldIt doesnโt matter if you use a box camera or a Leica, the important thing is what motivates you when you are photographing. What I have tried to do is involve the people I was photographing. To have them realize without saying so, that it was up to them to give me whatever they wanted to give me . . . if they were willing to give, I was willing to photograph.
