- Came
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I came to photography by accident.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What drove me and kept me going over the decades? If I had to use a single word, it would be 'curiosity.'
- Lens
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't see anybody as either ordinary or extraordinary. I see them simply as people in front of my lens.
- Politics
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have been poor and I wanted to document poverty; I had lost a child and I was obsessed with birth; I was interested in politics and I wanted to know how it affected our lives; I am a woman and I wanted to know about women.

Themes recur again and again in my work.
- Illusion
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love the idea I can go off with a single camera and a few rolls of film unencumbered... I was not interested in the illusion of reality, I wanted to get close to what was happening.
- Mirror
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I realise that I had the best of serious picture journalism. There was an innocence in our approach, especially in the 1950s and 1960s when we naively believed that by holding a mirror up to the world we could help - no matter how little - to make people aware of the human condition.
- Mind
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What do you hang on the walls of your mind?
- Light
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I look for a sense of reality with everything I did. I didn't work in a studio, I didn't light anything. I found a way of working which pleased me because I didn't have to frighten people with heavy equipment. It was that little black box and me and £5 worth of film in my pocket or maybe it was only £2 in those days.
- Conjure
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's hard for me to assess what I brought because each time you pick up a camera and point it at a person, you're trying to define that person so to talk generally is difficult because I have to think of a given image in order to conjure up what we're talking about.
- Important
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It doesn't matter if you use a box camera or you use a Leica; the important thing is what motivates you when you are photographing.
- Most
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What has changed is that when I photographed, most people that I photographed didn't have the right of refusal on their work. It would take a Marilyn Monroe at her height to be able to dictate that.
- Cares
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If a photographer cares about the people before the lens and is compassionate, much is given.
- Photograph
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What I have tried to do is involve the people I was photographing... if they were willing to give, I was willing to photograph.
- Camera
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I can't hold a camera anymore.
- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I want the subject to be in control. Because they will give me something I couldn't possibly know about them.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You should never reveal your true age.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you are careful with people, they will offer you part of themselves. That is the big secret.
- Exhilarating
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I find going back through things sometimes exhilarating because I find things I didn't know I had, and sometimes it's very off putting because there are things I never quite finished, and there's nothing at all to do about it now.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What you need to be a good photographer is an overwhelming curiosity and a good digestion. Sometimes you feel blessed with curiosity, sometimes you feel cursed with it.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If the chemistry is right between star and photographer and the geometry of the pictures pleases the star, often the two people end up with a long-term professional friendship during which they continue to work together and to produce highly personal images.
