Sometimes they are a matter of luck; the photographer could not expect or hope for them. Sometimes they are a matter of patience, waiting for an effect to be repeated that he has seen and lost or for one that he anticipates.

In the world of photography, you get to share a captured moment with other people.
If a photographer cares about the people before the lens and is compassionate, much is given.
And only the photographer himself knows the effect he wants. He should know by instinct, grounded in experience, what subjects are enhanced by hard or soft, light or dark treatment.
The photographers are always around. Wherever I go, they start clicking incessantly. I am always like, 'At least give me a heads-up, as, many times, I look so disheveled. What will people think?'
What you need to be a good photographer is an overwhelming curiosity and a good digestion. Sometimes you feel blessed with curiosity, sometimes you feel cursed with it.
Photography to me is catching a moment which is passing, and which is true.
A photographer must be prepared to catch and hold on to those elements which give distinction to the subject or lend it atmosphere.
It is part of the photographer's job to see more intensely than most people do. He must have and keep in him something of the receptiveness of the child who looks at the world for the first time or of the traveler who enters a strange country.
People are so wonderful that a photographer has only to wait for that breathless moment to capture what he wants on film.
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.
