In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little, human detail can become a Leitmotiv.

Of all the means of expression, photography is the only one that fixes a precise moment in time.

The camera is for us a tool, not a pretty mechanical toy ... people think far too much about techniques and not enough about seeing.

It seems dangerous to be a portrait artist who does commissions for clients because everyone wants to be flattered, so they pose in such a way that there's nothing left of truth.

One eye looks within, the other eye looks without.

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.

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