Anything Is An Art If You Do

A Photographic Portrait Is A Picture Of Someone Who Knows He's Being Photographed, And What He Does With This Knowledge Is As Much A Part Of The Photograph As What He's Wearing Or How He Looks. He's Implicated In What's Happening, And He Has A Certain Real Power Over The Result.

All Photographs Are Accurate. None Of Them Is The Truth.

How Many Pictures Have You Torn Up Because You Hate Them? What Ends Up In Your Scrapbook? The Pictures Where You Look Like A Good Guy And A Good Family Man, And The Children Look Adorable - And They're Screaming The Next Minute. I've Never Seen A Family Album Of Screaming People.

I Always Prefer To Work In The Studio. It Isolates People From Their Environment

I Hate Cameras. They Interfere, They’re Always In The Way. I Wish: If I Could Just Work With My Eyes Alone. To Get A Satisfactory Print, One That Contains All That You Intended, Is Very Often More Difficult And Dangerous Than The Sitting Itself. When I’m Photographing, I Immediately Know When I’ve Got The Image I Really Want. But To Get The Image Out Of The Camera And Into The Open, Is Another Matter.
