I always told them to remain relaxed. They began to like it. It took only about 10 minutes. In photography, everything should be as close to perfection as possible. After all, the customer is trying to look their very best.

I didn't usually know the people who came to my studio - not even their names. I didn't ask any questions, because I didn't have any reason to. Between 1949 and 1952, I used my fringed bedspread as my first backdrop. Then, I changed the background every two or three years. That's how I recall, more or less, the dates of the shots.
