I don't photograph life as it is, but life as I would like it to be.

I prefer my hesitations, my false paths, my stammering, to a preconceived idea.

I don't usually give out advice or recipes, but you must let the person looking at the photograph go some of the way to finishing it. You should offer them a seed that will grow and open up their minds.

For a photographer, the first 70 years are a bit difficult, but after that things get better.

A photographer who made a picture from a splendid moment, an accidental pose of someone or a beautiful scenery, is the finder of a treasure.

Photography is very subjective. Photography is not a document on which a report can be made. It is a subjective document. Photography is a false witness, a lie.
