I try not to tell students where to shoot, when to shoot, or what to shoot. I feel finding the picture is the most important part of being a photographer. The actual shooting is of lesser importance.

You must not think of yourself as looking at the stage from the audience. You must think of it as theatre in the round and look at it from all sides.

If you're not shooting in the right direction, it doesn't matter how well you're shooting.

There is no bad light. There is spectacular light and difficult light. It's up to you to use the light you have.

I don't see light as something that falls, but as a positive force.

You have to pick the right tool for the point you're trying to make and there is no one solution.

You need minimum color for maximum effect.
