In my view you cannot claim to have seen something until you have photographed it.

I know that if I were to take ugly photographs, no one would be interested in looking at them.

I look at ordinary objects, and I see things that other people don't see. That's why I'm a photographer.

Photographs can reveal something to us, and they can also conceal things.

A photograph is always invisible, it is not it that we see.

While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see.

No one could possibly look all the time like my photographs. It is dreadfully hard to live up to them. They stare at me everywhere.

I paint what I see, not what a camera would see.

Because of who I am, people ask for photos. I can't just say no to everyone.
