For me the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity, the master of the instant which, in visual terms, questions and decides simultaneously. It is by economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression.

Freedom for me is a strict frame, and inside that frame are all the variations possible.

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

Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, however, you must be very quick.

To take photographs is putting one's head, one's eye, and one's heart on the same axis

It's seldom you make a great picture. you have to milk the cow quite a lot to get plenty of milk to make a little cheese.

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