What reinforces the content of a photograph is the sense of rhythm - the relationship between shapes and values.

Photography has not changed since its origin except in its technical aspects, which for me are not important.

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

To take photographs means to recognize - simultaneously and within a fraction of a second - both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one's head, one's eye and one's heart on the same axis.

With the one eye that is closed, one looks within, with the other eye that is open, one looks without.

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.

It's wonderful to be famous as long as you remain unknown.
