I take photographs with love, so I try to make them art objects. But I make them for myself first and foremost - that is important.

I have never taken a picture for any other reason than that at that moment it made me happy to do so.

What’s so incredibly amusing with photography is that while seemingly an art of the surface, it catches things I haven’t even noticed. And it pains me not to have seen things in all their depth.

Photography is a magic thing. A thing that has mysterious odors, a little strange and frightening, something one quickly grows to love.

The golden rule is work fast. As for framing, composition, focus-this is no time to start asking yourself questions: you just have to trust your intuition and the sharpness of your reflexes.

One shouldn’t be only two photographers but thousands.

To talk about photos rather than making them seems idiotic to me. It's as though I went on and on about a woman I adored instead of making love to her.
