I believe that the essence of photography is black and white. Color is but a deviance.

Why should there be only one sort of photography? I want to create images with elements of my choosing, narrative or evocative... I give myself a literary frame, I tell a story.

I create situations that do not exist. I seek the truth from fiction.

The photos that interest me most, I can't say why I took them. I think my gift is that I still work with a certain amount of unconsciousness.

To be more creative is to get closer to childhood.

What I aim at is an image with a minimum of information and markers, that has no reference to a given time or place.

For nothing to happen, something has to happen first.

I never photograph reality.

Once is sometimes enough and once is sometimes necessary.
