Photography is like a moment, an instant. You need a half-second to get the photo. So it's good to capture people when they are themselves.

Photography is an accident.

Any moment which is not captured is loss in events of time.

My stepfather gave me a Kodak camera when I was 17 years old. I started working at a local photo store in Le Havre, France, taking passport pictures and photographing weddings.

Photographers have to make the clothes look fantastic; that's why we get paid.

I don't stop at my past; I like new work. I like what I'm doing tomorrow.
