“If you photograph a stranger, the instant you release the shutter that person stops being a stranger, because you will always carry them with you.”
“You don’t make a photograph with the camera alone. You put into it every image you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard and the people you have loved.”
“The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see the world without one.”
“Photography does not show reality, but the idea we have of it.”
“When you photograph people in colour, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in black and white, you photograph their soul.”
“What makes photography a strange invention is that its raw materials are light and time.”
“I love the people I photograph. I mean, they are my friends. I have never met most of them, or I don’t know them at all, and yet through my images I live with them.”
“There are black and white and there is colour, but many images can also be read in just two tones.”
“I have never got a shot exactly as I wanted: it always came out better or worse.”
“Taking a photograph means aligning the head, the eye and the heart. It is a way of life.”
“The amateur photographer worries about having the right equipment, the professional worries about money and the master worries about light.”
“Photography is always a matter of shutting out the rest of the world to show only a small piece of it.”
