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

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.

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

Of course it's all luck.

The intensive use of photographs by mass media lays ever fresh responsibilities upon the photographer. We have to acknowledge the existence of a chasm between the economic needs of our consumer society and the requirements of those who bear witness to this epoch. This affects us all, particularly the younger generations of photographers. We must take greater care than ever not to allow ourselves to be separated from the real world and from humanity.

In photography, you've got to be quick, quick, quick, quick...Like an animal and a prey.

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