Those who want to be serious photographers, you're really going to have to edit your work. You're going to have to understand what you're doing. You're going to have to not just shoot, shoot, shoot. To stop and look at your work is the most important thing you can do.
From Annie Leibovitz
In a portrait, you have room to have a point of view. The image may not be literally what's going on, but it's representative.
As much as I'm not a journalist, I use journalism. And when you photograph a relationship, it's quite wonderful to let something unfold in front of you.
If I didn't have my camera to remind me constantly, I am here to do this, I would eventually have slipped away, I think. I would have forgotten my reason to exist.
Sometimes I enjoy just photographing the surface because I think it can be as revealing as going to the heart of the matter.
The work which is manipulated looks a little boring to me. I think life is pretty strange anyway. It is wooo, wooo, wooo!
What has stayed true all the way through my work is my composition, I hope, and my sense of color.
If it makes you cry, it goes in the show.
My lens of choice was always the 35 mm. It was more environmental. You can't come in closer with the 35 mm.
What I learned from Lennon was something that did stay with me my whole career, which is to be very straightforward. I actually love talking about taking pictures, and I think that helps everyone.
