When people talk to me about picture hunters, I very quietly laugh. I'm not a hunter of pictures, I'm a fisher of pictures.

Nowadays people's visual imagination is so much more sophisticated, so much more developed, particularly in young people, that now you can make an image which just slightly suggests something, they can make of it what they will.

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

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

You know, they always say that the photographer is a hunter of images. That is a flattering image, the idea of a hunter, it's virile, acquired power. Actually though, it isn't that. We are really fishermen with hooks and lines.

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

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