“The advice I would give to someone entering the world of documentary photography is… don’t. No, if you really want to do it expect it to be tough these days simply because you don’t have the advantages I had when I started, of the advantages that magazines really need you. Today, magazines prefer to use more commercial people, they want more slick imagery. But I think if you love it and you really want to do it, then you must do it because you’ll never forgive yourself for not doing something you cared about or you believe in if you don’t do it… now.”
