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

I am neither an economist nor a photographer of monuments, and I am not much of a journalist either. What I am trying to do more than anything else is to observe life.

As photojournalists, we supply information to a world that is overwhelmed with preoccupations and full of people who need the company of images....We pass judgement on what we see, and this involves an enormous responsibility.

Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera.

A photograph is neither taken or seized by force. It offers itself up. It is the photo that takes you. One must not take photos.

A photographer is part pick-pocket and part tightrope dancer.

In photography, the smallest thing can become a big subject, an insignificant human detail can become a leitmotiv. We see and we make seen as a witness to the world around us; the event, in its natural activity, generates an organic rhythm of forms.
