This recognition, in real life, of a rhythm of surfaces, lines, and values is for me the essence of photography; composition should be a constant of preoccupation, being a simultaneous coalition - an organic coordination of visual elements.

I am a pack of nerves while waiting for the moment, and this feeling grows and grows and grows and then it explodes, it is a physical joy, a dance, space and time united. Yes, yes, yes, yes!

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

While we're working, we must be conscious of what we're doing.

Thinking should be done beforehand and afterwards - never while actually taking a photograph.

The adventurer in me felt obliged to testify with a quicker instrument than a brush to the scars of the world.

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