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.

To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.

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.

A photographer is part pick-pocket and part tightrope dancer.

The Photography is a chopper which in the eternity seizes the moment which dazzled it.

He made me suddenly realize that photographs could reach eternity through the moment.

Photography is, for me, a spontaneous impulse coming from an ever attentive eye which captures the moment and its eternity.
