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

You just have to live and life will give you pictures.

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

What reinforces the content of a photograph is the sense of rhythm - the relationship between shapes and values.

Pictures, regardless of how they are created and recreated, are intended to be looked at. This brings to the forefront not the technology of imaging, which of course is important, but rather what we might call the eyenology (seeing).

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