The intensive use of photographs by mass media lays ever fresh responsibilities upon the photographer. We have to acknowledge the existence of a chasm between the economic needs of our consumer society and the requirements of those who bear witness to this epoch. This affects us all, particularly the younger generations of photographers. We must take greater care than ever not to allow ourselves to be separated from the real world and from humanity.

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

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.

Photography has not changed since its origin except in its technical aspects, which for me are not important.

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

Photographier: c'est mettre sur la meme ligne de mire la tete, l'oeil et le coeur.
