I'm very old fashioned. I still believe in the image and the pictorial quality of the image. It seems that I'm still busy with a truth in photography.

Photographs are still always depictions, it's just that for my generation the model for the photograph is probably not reality any more, but images we have of that reality.

The people have to know what my portraits are like in order to behave in such a way that the result is one of my portraits.

There have to be at least two copies of a photograph, otherwise it’s not a photograph.

You cannot explain the whole world in one photograph. Photography pretends. You can see everything that's in front of the camera, but there's always something beside it.

In photography, you always have both the medium and the depicted subject at the same time.
