Photographers Don't Need To Be Aggressive. Some

Never Boss People Around. It's More Important To Click With People Than To Click The Shutter.

My Style Hasn't Changed Much In All These Sixty Years. I Still Use, Most Of The Time, Existing Light And Try Not To Push People Around. I Have To Be As Much A Diplomat As A Photographer. People Don't Often Take Me Seriously Because I Carry So Little Equipment And Make So Little Fuss... I Never Carried A Lot Of Equipment. My Motto Has Always Been, "keep It Simple".

The Way I Would Describe A Pictorial Is That It Is A Picture That Makes Everybody Say ‘aaaaah,’ With Five Vowels When They See It. It Is Something You Would Like To Hang On The Wall. The French Word ‘photogenique’ Defines It Better Than Anything In English. It Is A Picture Which Must Have Quality, Drama, And It Must, In Addition, Be As Good Technically As You Can Possible Make It.

I Don't Like To Work With Assistants. I'm Already One Too Many; The Camera Alone Would Be Enough.

Photographers Don't Need To Be Aggressive. Some Are. Henry Benson Is Aggressive - But Then He's From Fleet Street. If You Can Talk To People, You Don't Need To Push People Around.
