In my photographs it is apparent that there was no posing at the moment I released the shutter.
Look and think before opening the shutter. The heart and mind are the true lens of the camera.
Photographs aren't accounts of scrutiny. The shutter is open for a fraction of a second.
It is more important to click with people than to click the shutter.
There's a discipline. When you take someone's portrait, you don't have to take 50 photographs, just find that one so that when you release the shutter, that's the image that you took.
When that shutter clicks, anything else that can be done afterward is not worth consideration.
I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking.
In the early days of picture-taking, the exposure shutter had to stay open for a long time, so you had to stay really still.
Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter.
Never boss people around. It's more important to click with people than to click the shutter.
