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

They ... asked me: 'How do you make your pictures?' I was puzzled ... I said, I don't know, it's not important.

For me the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity, the master of the instant which, in visual terms, questions and decides simultaneously. It is by economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression.

Why do photographers start giving numbers to their prints? It’s absurd. What do you do when the 20th print has been done? Do you swallow the negative? Do you shoot yourself? It’s the gimmick of money.

Pictures should never be posed. They are 'revealed' so must be accepted as they are. Left alone.

In photography, the smallest thing can become a big subject, an insignificant human detail can become a leitmotiv. We see and we make seen as a witness to the world around us; the event, in its natural activity, generates an organic rhythm of forms.

Photography is like fencing. You must keep your distance, wait, and then thrust.
