What I really try to do is photograph people at rest, in a state of serenity.
Using simple equipment and daylight alone is for me a pleasure and a replenishment.
Working on photography is working on oneself.
Over the years I must have spent thousands of hours silently brushing on the liquid coatings, preparing each sheet in anticipation of reaching the perfect print.
Photographing a cake can be art.
Liberman said to me, 'I must cut back on the work you do for Vogue. The editors don't like it. They say the photographs burn on the page . After some years, I began to understand that what they wanted of me was simply a nice, sweet, clean-looking image of a lovely young woman.
