The simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organization of forms which gives that event its proper expression... In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little human detail can become a leitmotif.

Everyone has got some preconceptions, but you have to readjust them in front of reality. Reality has the last word.

To photograph: it is to put on the same line of sight the head, the eye and the heart.

The difference between a good picture and a mediocre picture is a question of millimeters - small, small differences - but it’s essential. I didn’t think there is such a big difference between photographers. Very little difference. But it is that little difference that counts, maybe

Photography is not documentary, but intuition, a poetic experience.

During the work, you have to be sure that you haven't left any holes, that you've captured everything, because afterwards it will be too late.

I'm always amused by the idea that certain people have about technique, which translate into an immoderate taste for the sharpness of the image. It is a passion for detail, for perfection, or do they hope to get closer to reality with this trompe I'oeil? They are, by the way, as far away from the real issues as other generations of photographers were when they obscured their subject in soft-focus effects.
