If I am dissatisfied, it's simply because good photos are few and far between. A good photo is a miracle.
Josef KoudelkaSometimes I photograph without looking through the viewfinder. I have mastered that well enough, it is almost as if I were looking through it.
Josef KoudelkaI photograph only something that has to do with me, and I never did anything that I did not want to do. I do not do editorial and I never do advertising. No, my freedom is something I do not give away easily.
Josef KoudelkaWhen I photograph, I do not think much. If you looked at my contacts you would ask yourself: "What is this guy doing?" But I keep working with my contacts and with my prints, I look at them all the time. I believe that the result of this work stays in me and at the moment of photographing it comes out, without my thinking of it.
