The moment always dictates in my work. What I feel, I do. This is the most important thing for me. Everybody can look, but they don't necessarily see. I never calculate or consider I see a situation and I know that it's right, even if I have to go back to get the proper lighting.
Andre Kertesz

Andre Kertesz
I can't talk about my style. It us kind of difficult for me. I don't like styles. I only like taking photos and expressing myself through them.
Andre Kertesz

Andre Kertesz
