There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.
Photography is the only language that can be understood anywhere in the world.
There's nothing more extraordinary than reality.
It can be a trap of the photographer to think that his or her best pictures were the ones that were hardest to get.
On editing photos - Taken from interview (see http://blog.travellerspoint.com/90/)
You have to be ready for luck.
My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph.
The things you don’t show can say more than the things that are made visible.
From an interview with Erwin at: https://talking-pictures.net.au/2020/12/12/erwin-olaf-a-hesitant-beauty/
If you do see the competior in the viewfiender you've missed the picture.
If the ball isn't in the picture you haven't got a picture.
I am a perfectionist. When I take a picture...it's gotta be good
