Portrait
"Photography is an immediate reaction, drawing is a meditation."
Reaction
"The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box."
Act
"Above all, I craved to seize the whole essence, in the confines of one single photograph, of some situation that was in the process of unrolling itself before my eyes."
Essence
"To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event."
Perception
"Memory is very important, the memory of each photo taken, flowing at the same speed as the event. During the work, you have to be sure that you haven't left any holes, that you've captured everything, because afterwards it will be too late."
Work
"During the work, you have to be sure that you haven't left any holes, that you've captured everything, because afterwards it will be too late."
Work
"Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, however, you must be very quick."
Time
"The photograph itself doesn't interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality."
