A person cannot learn to be a photographer. He can only cultivate what he already has. I try to make people aware that they have something very precious to cultivate.

Never ever say the word shoot when you are taking a picture with a camera because a camera is not a violent weapon.

Fall in love. Every day. With everything. With life. If you can fall in love, you can be a photographer. I think that is absolutely essential.

What the human eye sees is an illusion of what is real. The black and white image transforms illusions into another reality.

Light is my inspiration, my paint and brush. It is as vital as the model herself. Profoundly significant, it caresses the essential superlative curves and lines. Light I acknowledge as the energy upon which all life on this planet depends.

I allowed life to give me presents. And everything just sort of happened the way it was supposed to happen. I did not pursue anything. It more or less pursued me.

My quest, through the magic of light and shadow, is to isolate, to simplify and to give emphasis to form with the greatest clarity. To indicate the ideal proportion, to reveal sculptural mass and the dominating spirit is my goal.

I learned early on that if I was to get attention, I would have to be charming. Even the models I've photographed are often like that. Some of them are not beautiful. But, if you catch them in the right light, they glow.

I think of the nudes as seed pods, like flowers or grasses. They are universal bodies.

I was a very, very careful printer when I used 8-by-10 film. I probably spent more time on printing than anything else. The more the prints were appreciated, the more time I spent on them.

If I have chosen the female form in particular, it is because beauty has been debased and exploited in our sensual 20th century.

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

I have no regrets about my work. To be a photographer was a gift of the gods. I can't imagine anything that would have been better.
