If you are interested in photography because you love it and are obsessed with it, you must be self-motivated, a perfectionist, and relentless.

In a portrait, you always leave part of yourself behind.

Photograph the world as it is. Nothing's more interesting than reality.

Nowadays shots are created in post-production, on computers. It's not really photography.

If I hadn't become a photographer, I would have loved to become a doctor. I would have loved to have done something that actually helped people and changed their lives.

Finding the right subject is the hardest part.

I think you reveal yourself by what you choose to photograph, but I prefer photographs that tell more about the subject. There's nothing much interesting to tell about me; what's interesting is the person I'm photographing, and that's what I try to show. [...] I think each photographer has a point of view and a way of looking at the world... that has to do with your subject matter and how you choose to present it. What's interesting is letting people tell you about themselves in the picture.
