I love painting. As far as photography is concerned, I understand nothing.

Sharpness is a bourgeois concept

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.

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

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.

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.

The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.
