“Photography is like stealing.You rob someone of a moment that exposes something essential about their character,their soul if you like.there are people who are very conscious of that,who find that terrifying.The thought that everyone,friend of foe,can get so close to you,look you straight in the eye and judge you without having any control over it or being able to respond.A part of them has become the property of the photographer.”
― Esther Verhoef, Close-up

“Pictures could not be accessories to the story -- evidence -- they had to contain the story within the frame; the best picture contained a whole war within one frame.”
― Tatjana Soli, The Lotus Eaters

“Unpredictability. Accidents. Not good when you’re engaging in, say, brain surgery, but when lighting...wonderful!”
― Joe McNally, The Moment It Clicks: Photography Secrets from One of the World's Top Shooters
