When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.
You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.
There are no bad pictures; that's just how your face looks sometimes.
A picture is a secret about a secret, the more it tells you the less you know.
When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in Black and white, you photograph their souls!
Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second.
All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt.
You don't take a photograph, you make it.
A good snapshot keeps a moment from running away.
The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.
To the complaint, 'There are no people in these photographs,' I respond, There are always two people: the photographer and the viewer.
A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.
For me, the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity.
Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.
