Photography is nothing-it's life that interests me.

I suddenly understood that a photograph could fix eternity in an instant.

He made me suddenly realize that photographs could reach eternity through the moment.

A photographer must always work with the greatest respect for his subject and in terms of his own point of view.

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.

And no photographs taken with the aid of flashlight either, if only out of respect of the actual light—even when there isn't any of it.

It's wonderful to be famous as long as you remain unknown.
