Fall in love. Every day. With everything. With life. If you can fall in love, you can be a photographer. I think that is absolutely essential.

Photography is art when it's used by an artist.

Never ever say the word shoot when you are taking a picture with a camera because a camera is not a violent weapon.

There is nothing unimportant in the universe.

I never look for a photograph. The photograph finds me and says, I'm here! and I say, Yes, I see you. I hear you.

Light is my inspiration, my paint and brush. It is as vital as the model herself. Profoundly significant, it caresses the essential superlative curves and lines. Light I acknowledge as the energy upon which all life on this planet depends.

Often I have struggled for days to get the image of the photograph to overlap the spirit I see. It is an awesome responsibility, and a lonely one.
