I wasn’t imposing my presence on anyone,... Which is very important for a would- be

journalist. I stayed back.Always let people be themselves.

You have to follow your nose... To have a mental attitude about what you feel good about and yearn for in a picture.Being able to say ‘I like it’ or ‘I don’t like it’.Thant’s first.

Let the subject generate its own photographs. Become a camera.

I go straight in very close to people and I do that because it’s the only way you can get the picture. You go right up

to them. Even now, I don’t find it easy. I don’t announce it. I pretend to be focusing elsewhere. If you take

someone’s photograph it is very difficult not to look at them just after. But it’s the one thing that gives the

game away. I don’t try and hide what I’m doing – that would be folly.

I would say to any artist:

‘Don’t be repressed in

your work, dare to

experiment, consider

any urge, if in a new

direction all the better.’

You have to follow your nose...

To have a mental attitude

about what you feel good

about and yearn for in a

picture. Being able to say ‘I

like it’ or ‘I don’t like it’.

Trust that little voice

in your head that

says ‘Wouldn’t be

interesting if...’ and

then do it!
