“Your aim as a photographer is to get a picture of that person that mea...” — Tim Walker Quote

Your aim as a photographer is to get a picture of that person that means something. Portraits aren't fantasies; they need to tell a truth.

It is very difficult to make the ideas in my head come to life, but what is harder is making them look effortless.

Fantasy isn't something I put into the pictures; I don't try and inject them with a sense of play. But it's about being an honest photographer; a photograph is as much of a mirror of the photographer as it is the subject.

You have to raise the bar. Give yourself a challenge. Ask yourself, 'How can one make the impossible materialise?'

I'm very particular who I work with. I'm not interested in portraying women with a cliched, generic look. I'm interested in a model who I can take a portrait of.

Ajax have a tradition of good football and play 4-3-3, which suits me. They also spend lots of money on youth players with the aim of putting them in the first team.

My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way.

Hire people who are better than you are, then leave them to get on with it. Look for people who will aim for the remarkable, who will not settle for the routine.

I see myself as a Premier League player. If I see myself as a Championship player, that's not good enough. You have to aim higher and if you come just short then it's not too bad.

The Palestinian Rifle is ready and we will aim it if they try to prevent us from praying in Jerusalem.
