Photography is the simplest thing in the world, but it is incredibly complicated to make it really work.

It's really, really hard to make it as a fine-art photographer exclusively.

Photography is the easiest medium with which to be merely competent. Almost anybody can be competent. It's the hardest medium in which to have some sort of personal vision and to have a signature style.

Digital photography and Photoshop have made it very easy for people to take pictures. It's a medium that allows a lot of mediocre stuff to get through.

People are at their best when they can be natural. And that's the hardest thing as a photographer.

A good photographer can make you look incredible, even when you're not feeling very sexy.

It's good that everyone has an opportunity to take pictures, the chance to be a photographer. Some are good, too. But the bad thing is that it's very, very difficult to take a great picture. Everyone can take a good picture - even a child - but it's hard to make a great one.

With photography, I always think that it's not good enough.

Photography is very presumptuous. Photographers are always photographing other people's lives - something they know nothing about - and drawing great inferences into it.

Photography is pretty simple stuff. You just react to what you see, and take many, many pictures.
