The legendary photographer gives us an insight of what it takes to capture an iconic image on camera. It’s about recognising a unique magical moment, where light, space, and composition align with the public’s sensitivity to create an impression that is destined to touch one’s soul and be remembered for a long time.

“Well, I think that a good photograph is one that changes you. One that you can’t forget. It touched your soul. Something which kind of lives inside of you. You can’t underestimate the importance of light. Light, it really is the foundation for everything in Art, Painting, Photography”.
“I don’t really have favorites, just to be honest, for me, some of the most important pictures I’ve made are just little, insignificant moments. People I have met on the street, people that have moved me, touched me. So for me, it’s often the pictures you wouldn’t expect that end up being kind of my favorites, are the ones that I kind of can’t forget”.
