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.

I just think it's important to be direct and honest with people about why you're photographing them and what you're doing. After all, you are taking some of their soul.

I don't think you can develop or learn a way of seeing or a point of view. A way of seeing is who you are, how you think and how you create images. It is something that is inside of you. It's how you look at the world.

Reality is always extraordinary.

A great photograph needs no explanation; it functions by suggestion. There is no need to be explicit.

The subject gives you the best idea of how to make a photograph. So I just wait for something to happen.

I want my photographs not only to be real but to portray the essence of my subjects also. In order to do that, you have to be patient.
