"In photography, I detest the deliberately ugly, the deliberately funny, the draped beauty and prettiness, the obscene. I look for the true and natural and there is nothing ugly or hideous in that, there are only pictures that make you more or less affected or more or less appealing." (Christine STEPHAN-BROSCH)
