During the work, you have to be sure that you haven't left any holes, that you've captured everything, because afterwards it will be too late.

For me, the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity.

Thinking should be done before and after, not during photographing. Success depends on the extent of one's general culture. one's set of values, one's clarity of mind one's vivacity. The thing to be feared most is the artificially contrived, the contrary to life.

A photograph is neither taken or seized by force. It offers itself up. It is the photo that takes you. One must not take photos.

It seems dangerous to be a portrait artist who does commissions for clients because everyone wants to be flattered, so they pose in such a way that there's nothing left of truth.

It is the photo that takes you. One must not take photos.

I believe that, through the act of living, the discovery of oneself is made concurrently with the discovery of the world around us.
