As photojournalists, we supply information to a world that is overwhelmed with preoccupations and full of people who need the company of images....We pass judgement on what we see, and this involves an enormous responsibility.

One has to tiptoe lightly and steal up to one's quarry; you don't swish the water when you are fishing.

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

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

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

...it is seldom indeed that a composition which was poor when the picture was taken can be improved by reshaping it in the dark room.

In a portrait, I’m looking for the silence in somebody.
