I enjoy very much seeing a good photographer working. There’s an elegance, just like in a bullfight.

Photographier: c'est mettre sur la meme ligne de mire la tete, l'oeil et le coeur.

As time passes by and you look at portraits, the people come back to you like a silent echo. A photograph is a vestige of a face, a face in transit. Photography has something to do with death. It's a trace.

Photography is like fencing. You must keep your distance, wait, and then thrust.

Photography must seize upon this moment and hold immobile the equilibrium of it. The photographers eye is perpetually evaluating. A photographer can bring coincidence of line simply by moving his head a fraction of a millimeter. He can modify perspectives by a slight bending of the knees. By placing the camera closer to or farther from the subject, he draws a detail — and it can be subordinated, or he can be tyrannized by it.

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

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