Henri Cartier-Bresson

Photography is an immediate reaction, drawing is a meditation.

The world is full of things to photograph, but you have to be there to see them.

I don't like to arrange things. I like to catch life as it is.

The main thing is to be moved, to love, to tremble, to live.

We photographers are a kind of visual reporter.

There is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment.

The camera is a tool for seeing, not for making pictures.

I'm not interested in documenting. I'm interested in expressing.

The picture is good or not good in the moment it is taken.

The most important thing is to be yourself, to be authentic.

One must be a sponge, ready to absorb the moment.

The world is a stage, and we are all actors.

Photography is a way of understanding, of feeling, of expressing.

The camera is a silent witness.

I am not a journalist. I am a painter with a camera.

The essential is to be present, to be aware.

The eye is the first camera.

The world is a constant source of wonder.

The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.

I am always looking for the unexpected.
