Once The Amateur's Naive Approach And Humble

Today's Photographers Think Differently. Many Can't See Real Light Anymore. They Think Only In Terms Of Strobe - Sure, It All Looks Beautiful But It's Not Really Seeing. If You Have The Eyes To See It, The Nuances Of Light Are Already There On The Subject's Face. If Your Thinking Is Confined To Strobe Light Sources, Your Palette Becomes Very Mean - Which Is The Reason I Photograph Only In Available Light.

The Important Thing Is Not The Camera But The Eye.

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

Once The Amateur's Naive Approach And Humble Willingness To Learn Fades Away, The Creative Spirit Of Good Photography Dies With It. Every Professional Should Remain Always In His Heart An Amateur.

It's Important To Understand It's Ok To Control The Subject. If Most Editorial Stories Were Photographed Just As They Are, Editors Would End Up Throwing Most In The Waste Basket. You Have To Work Hard At Making An Editorial Picture. You Need To Re-stage Things, Rearrange Things So That They Work For The Story, With Truth And Without Lying.
