I Have To Be As Much Diplomat

I Always Prefer Photographing In Available Light – Or Rembrandt-light I Like To Call It – So You Get The Natural Modulations Of The Face. It Makes A More Alive, Real, And Flattering Portrait.

I Want To Be A Mouse In A Mousehole.

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

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

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".
