To suggest is to create; to describe is to destroy.

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.

If you take photos, don't speak, don't write, don't analyze yourself, and don't answer any questions.

The marvels of daily life are exciting; no movie director can arrange the unexpected that you find in the street.

You've got to struggle against the pollution of intelligence in order to become an animal with very sharp instincts - a sort of intuitive medium - so that to photograph becomes a magical act, and slowly other more suggestive images begin to appear behind the visible image, for which the photographer cannot be held responsible.

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.

Life is short. Forgive quickly. Kiss slowly.
