Photography is an immediate reaction, drawing is a meditation.

To photograph: it is to put on the same line of sight the head, the eye and the heart.

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.

In whatever one does there must be a relationship between the eye and the heart.

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.

Culture shock is often felt sharply at the borders between countries, but sometimes it doesn't hit fully until you've been in a place for a long time.

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