“My photography is the result of being there at the right moment.” — Rene Burri Quote

My photography is the result of being there at the right moment.

I think that's the strength of photography - to decide the decisive moment, to click in the moment to come up with a picture that never comes back again.

I grew up in Switzerland, in this kind of rigidity. It was Protestant, and I was rather shy. That influenced me a lot.

It took me six years to get close to Picasso. I learnt a lot from him, and he was an absolute genius. He almost became my grandfather at the time. It was like he was a magician or something.

I never had the time or luxury to think about inventing my own colour theory. When colour came, I was interested in expressing things that happened around me in time.

When I signed in Colorado, I signed it with the intent of being there for the rest of my career. It wasn't meant to be.

Working through experience is best for me, just being there and trying to get into the mode.

It's a team game, but you've got to have individuals that really want the ball and want the pressure of being there to help get in a position to win.

A painter must think of everything he sees as being there entirely for his own use and pleasure.

My wife and son are my world and being there for them in every way possible is the only thing that matters to me... that and my work.
