One Man's Fantasy Is Another Man's Job.

Sometimes I Think All My Pictures Are Just Pictures Of Me.

If Each Photograph Steals A Bit Of The Soul, Isn't It Possible That I Give Up Pieces Of Mine Every Time I Take A Picture?

A Portrait Is Not A Likeness. The Moment An Emotion Or Fact Is Transformed Into A Photograph It Is No Longer A Fact But An Opinion. There Is No Such Thing As Inaccuracy In A Photograph. All Photographs Are Accurate. None Of Them Is The Truth.

Snapshots That Have Been Taken Of Me Working Show Something I Was Not Aware Of At All, That Over And Over Again I'm Holding My Own Body Or My Own Hands Exactly Like The Person I'm Photographing. I Never Knew I Did That, And Obviously What I'm Doing Is Trying To Feel, Actually Physically Feel, The Way He Or She Feels At The Moment I'm Photographing Them In Order To Deepen The Sense Of Connection.

When You Pose For A Photograph, It's Behind A Smile That Isn't Yours. You Are Angry And Hungry And Alive. What I Value In You Is That Intensity. I Want To Make Portraits As Intense As People.
