“The whole point of fashion is to make fashionable clothes available to everyone.”

“I like to make people look as good as they'd like to look, and with luck, a shade better.”

“The camera can be the most deadly weapon since the bow and arrow.”

“For a photographer, the camera is a passport.”

“A photographer must be prepared to catch a moment of eternity.”

“My job is to make people dream.”

“Being a photographer is making people look at what I want them to look at.”

“I have always maintained that the perfect photograph is the one that is not taken.”

“If you haven't got a flair for your subject, you'd better leave it alone.”

“I'm a great believer in the snapshot. It's the most honest form of photography.”

“I don't think I'm a fashion photographer. I'm just a photographer who is lucky enough to get paid for it.”

“Photography is a craft. Anyone can learn it. But you have to have a certain flair.”
