If you are truly successful in capturing the pulse of life, then you can speak of a good photograph.
From Rene Burri
In 1958, a year before the revolution, Magnum wanted to send me to Cuba because they had contacts with the rebels. I'd just spent six months in South America and said 'No', so I missed everything.
I think that's the strength of photography - to decide the decisive moment, to click in the moment to come up with a picture that never comes back again.
My photography is the result of being there at the right moment.
A photograph is a moment - when you press the button, it will never come back.
For me, Picasso was the ultimate man. He taught me that photography is all about how you approach an image: what you do and what you don't do. He inspired me to go beyond what you think is in front of you.
Everyone takes pictures, so you need to have your own opinion.
What counts is putting the intensity that you yourself have experienced into the picture. Otherwise it is just a document.
One of these days, I'm going to publish a book of all the pictures I did not take. It is going to be a huge hit.
I lived and grew up in the black and white period of photojournalism.
