#817 - Sabine Weiss

“Light, gesture, gaze, movement, silence, tension, rest, rigor, relaxation. I would like to incorporate everything in this instant, to express the essence of humanity with the minimum of means”

 

~ Sabine Weiss

 

This sublime image incorporates everything about Sabine’s process. She possessed immense technical skill and patience, enormous drive and energy and empathy which allowed her to live one of the longest and most productive careers of any post War European photographers. It was an honor to know and to collaborate with her. Her optimism was infectious.
