Photojournalists Know The Horrors Of War Can

I Used To Call Myself A War Photographer. Now I Consider Myself As An Antiwar Photographer.

I Don't Believe There's Any Such Thing As Objective Reality. It's Only Reality As We Experience It.

The Worst Thing Is To Feel That As A Photographer I Am Benefiting From Someone Else's Tragedy. This Idea Haunts Me. It's Something I Have To Reckon With Every Day Because I Know That If I Ever Allow Genuine Compassion To Be Overtaken By Personal Ambition, I Will Have Sold My Soul. The Only Way I Can Justify My Role Is To Have Respect For The Other Person's Predicament. The Extent To Which I Do That Is The Extent To Which I Become Accepted By The Other; And To That Extent, I Can Accept Myself.

The Greatest Statesmen, Philosophers, Humanitarians ... Have Not Been Able To Put An End To War. Why Place That Demand On Photography?

It Is Very Hard To Say Where You're Going Until You Get There. That Kind Of Thing Is Based Very Much On Instinct. As A Photographer, One Of The Most Important Lessons I Have Learnt Is That You Have To Learn To Listen To And Trust Your Own Instinct. It Has Helped To Guide Me - This Far At Least.
