QUOTES“For me the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity,
the master of the instant which, in visual terms, questions and decides simultaneously. It is by economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression
“To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It’s at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes great physical and intellectual joy.
“in photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little, human detail can become a Leitmotiv”
“I adore shooting photographs… It’s like being a hunter. But some hunters are vegetarians- which is my relationship to photography”
