My grandfather killed himself falling off the dike in Ostend while photographing my two cousins. This can happen so easily when looking through a lens: for a split second nothing else exists outside the frame.

More quotes by Martine Franck
I feel concerned by what happens in the world.... I don't want to merely document I want to know why a certain thing disturbs or attracts me and how a situation can affect the person involved.
Martine Franck
A photograph isn't necessarily a lie, but nor is it the truth. It's more of a fleeting, subjective impression. What I most like about photography is the moment that you can't anticipate: you have to be constantly watching for it, ready to welcome the unexpected.
Martine Franck
My advice to photographers is to get out there in the field and take photographs but also if they are students to finish their course, learn as many languages as possible, go to movies, read books visit museums, broaden your mind.
Martine Franck
What I like so much about photography is precisely the moment that cannot be anticipated one must be constantly on the alert, ready to acclaim the unexpected.
