Photography appears to be an easy activity; in fact it is a varied and ambiguous process in which the only common denominator among its practitioners is in the instrument.

There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. 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. That is the moment the photographer is creative. Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.

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.

It is through living that we discover ourselves, at the same time as we discover the world around us.

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.

For the world is movement, and you cannot be stationary in your attitude toward something that is moving.
