It's more important for a photographer to have very good shoes, than to have a very good camera

The light in Alaska in particular is so beautiful. So beautiful! Such incredible light.

I'm not a religious person. The language of photography is symbolic.

There comes a moment when it is no longer you who takes the photograph, but receives the way to do it quite naturally and fully.

When I was just starting out, I met Cartier-Bresson. He wasn't young in age but, in his mind, he was the youngest person I'd ever met. He told me it was necessary to trust my instincts, be inside my work, and set aside my ego. In the end, my photography turned out very different to his, but I believe we were coming from the same place.

You photograph with all your ideology.

There are moments that you suffer a lot, moments you won't photograph. There are some people you like better than others. But you give, you receive, you cherish, you are there. When you are really there, you know when you see the picture later what you are seeing.
