फोटोग्राफी में मुझे जो चीज़ आकर्षित करती है, वह कोई कलात्मक नज़रिया नहीं, बल्कि एक दस्तावेज़ की तरह तस्वीरें खींचना है... इंसान जिस तरह से दुनिया को समझने, उस पर कब्ज़ा करने, उस पर राज करने या किसी तरह उसे अपने वश में करने के लिए उसके दस्तावेज़ तैयार करता है

What attracts me in photography is not so much a fine arts approach, but rather photographs as documents... All the ways in which human beings have documented the world in an attempt to order it, in an attempt to consume it or rule it or hang on to it in some sense.

फोटोग्राफी की जो बात मुझे हमेशा से पसंद आई है, वह यह है कि यह मेरे मन में चल रही बात को सीधे तौर पर सामने रखने का एक ज़रिया है। मैंने कुछ देखा, और वो आपको दिखा दिया

What I've always liked about photography is that it's such a direct way of showing what's on my mind. I see something. I show it to you.

हम सब बहुत व्यस्त हैं। यह दुनिया बहुत तेज़ रफ़्तार से भाग रही है। और कला—यानी व्यापक अर्थों में हमारी संस्कृति—उन चुनिंदा जगहों में से एक है जहाँ हमें बिना किसी तुरंत प्रतिक्रिया के, ठहर कर देखने और सोचने की आज़ादी मिलती है

We're all busy. It's a very fast-paced world. And art - and by that, I mean culture in a wider sense - is one of the few spaces where we're allowed to look and think without an immediate response or reaction.

फोटोग्राफी का भौतिक दुनिया के साथ एक बहुत ही खास रिश्ता होता है। ज़रूरी नहीं कि ऐसा हो ही, लेकिन जिस तरह से मैं इसे करती हूँ, उसमें ऐसा ही है। इसमें चीज़ों को सिर्फ़ देखना भर शामिल नहीं है, बल्कि यह देखना है कि वे किस नज़रिए से जुड़ी हैं और उन्हें एक फ्रेम में ढालकर समझना है कि सब कुछ आपस में जुड़ा हुआ है

Something about photography is tied to a very specific relationship with the material world. It doesn't have to be, but the way I practice it, it is. So there's an act of observation, but it's not an act of objective recording. It's about framing something and seeing it and understanding that it's relational.

फोटोग्राफर अक्सर अपने शॉट रेश्यो की बात करते हैं—जैसे चार में से एक, छह में से एक, दस में से एक! जो भी हो, मेरा हाल तो सात अरब में से एक का है। यह बिल्कुल बेतुका है। लेकिन कभी-कभी अगर आप सही समय पर सब कुछ साध लें और बीच की रुकावटें हटा दें, तो तस्वीर कई स्तरों पर असर छोड़ती है

Photographers talk about their shoot ratio. Like four to one, six to one, ten to one! Whatever, I'm, like, seven billion to one. It is just ridiculous. But sometimes if you can hit it just right and get everything out of the way, something will resonate on multiple levels.
