The more pictures you see, the better you are as a photographer.

If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up.

I played around with the flowers and the lighting, so that was a good way to educate myself

I would never have done what I'd done if I'd considered my father as somebody I wanted to please.

If I had been born one or two hundred years ago, I might have been a sculptor, but photography is a very quick way to see, to make sculpture.

I like to look at pictures, all kinds. And all those things you absorb come out subconsciously one way or another. You'll be taking photographs and suddenly know that you have resources from having looked at a lot of them before. There is no way you can avoid this. But this kind of subconscious influence is good, and it certainly can work for one. In fact, the more pictures you see, the better you are as a photographer.

Whenever you make love to someone, there should be three people involved - you, the other person, and the devil.
