Photographier: c'est mettre sur la meme ligne de mire la tete, l'oeil et le coeur.

This recognition, in real life, of a rhythm of surfaces, lines, and values is for me the essence of photography; composition should be a constant of preoccupation, being a simultaneous coalition - an organic coordination of visual elements.

Why do photographers start giving numbers to their prints? It’s absurd. What do you do when the 20th print has been done? Do you swallow the negative? Do you shoot yourself? It’s the gimmick of money.

The most difficult thing for me is a portrait. You have to try and put your camera between the skin of a person and his shirt.

Photography has not changed since its origin except in its technical aspects, which for me are not important.

What reinforces the content of a photograph is the sense of rhythm - the relationship between shapes and values.

Photography is an immediate reaction, drawing is a meditation.
