I think the best pictures are often on the edges of any situation, I don't find photographing the situation nearly as interesting as photographing the edges.

You've got to push yourself harder. You've got to start looking for pictures nobody else could take. You've got to take the tools you have and probe deeper.

Photography is a way of introducing people to other people.

I think the 50mm lens is an extremely good discipline lens; it requires you to see in a more refined way, not just tighter.

If a subject has a delicate surface to it, you do not want to go charging in there. You need to establish some kind of presence and understanding. I will say, Try to forget I'm here. I won't ask you to pose, I won't ask you to do anything. It's important that I just be allowed to be around, to be present. Photographing people requires a willingness to be rejected. So, I think the best approach is to be honest and direct. Very often, I tell them, You don't know me. There's no reason why you should trust me... the only thing I can promise is that I'll try to do the most honest work I can.

In my photography, color and composition are inseparable. I see in color.

You have to care. You can't do good work if you don't care. That's not necessarily a strength, but it gives you strength.
