I didn't know a single female photographer who covered conflict who even had a boyfriend, much less a husband or a baby.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's weird being a photographer because you really have to divorce yourself from the image.
There were some advantages to being a woman photographer. I think women have more empathy with the subject.
My dad was actually against me being a photographer. He thought it was a dead-end job and that you end up doing baby pictures and weddings.
I began photographing in 1946. Before that, I was a painter and drawer, with my mother and father's support. They were a bit pissed when I went into photography. They thought photographers were guys who took pictures at weddings.
I don't photograph any two people who are remotely the same.
That's true, because I'm a photographer now.
One study found that people who smile in childhood photographs are less likely to get a divorce.
I'm not a war photographer. I've always dealt with the consequences of conflict.
Photography is very presumptuous. Photographers are always photographing other people's lives - something they know nothing about - and drawing great inferences into it.
I never notice a difference between photographing a man and a woman; for me, it's just somebody.
