A photograph has picked up a fact of life, and that fact will live forever
Raghu Rai
It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination
to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so
ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.

he unconscious obsession that we photographers have is that wherever we go
we want to find the theme that we carry inside ourselves.
Graciela Iturbide
I photograph only something that has to do with me, and I never did anything that

The fact that it wasn’t really considered an art.. that it was considered a craft..

What I want is the world to remember the problems and the people I photograph.
What I want is to create a discussion about what is happening around the world
