It’s hard not to tell the truth with a camera. Artists are particularly good at that. (Edward Weston Quotes)
A photograph has no value unless it looks exactly like a photograph and nothing else (Edward Weston Quotes)
My work is never intellectual. I never make a negative unless emotionally moved by my subject (Edward Weston Quotes)
Results alone should be appraised; the way in which these are achieved is of importance only to the maker (Edward Weston Quotes)
I was extravagant in the matter of cameras - anything photographic - I had to have the best. But that was to further my work. In most things I have gone along with the plainest - or without (Edward Weston Quotes)
Photography suits the temper of this age - of active bodies and minds. It is a perfect medium for one whose mind is teeming with ideas, imagery, for a prolific worker who would be slowed down by painting or sculpting, for one who sees quickly and acts decisively, accurately (Edward Weston Quotes)
I have been photographing our toilet, that glossy enameled receptacle of extraordinary beauty. Here was every sensuous curve of the human figure divine but minus the imperfections. Never did the Greeks reach a more significant consummation to their culture, and it somehow reminded me, in the glory of its chaste convulsions and in its swelling, sweeping, forward movement of finely progressing contours, of the Victory of Samothrace (Edward Weston Quotes)
When subject matter is forced to fit into preconceived patterns, there can be no freshness of vision. Following rules of composition can only lead to a tedious repetition of pictorial cliches (Edward Weston Quotes)
As great a picture can be made as one’s mental capacity-no greater. Art cannot be taught; it must be self-inspiration, though the imagination may be fired and the ambition and work directed by the advice and example of others (Edward Weston Quotes)
The painters have no copyright on modern art!... I believe in, and make no apologies for, photography: it is the most important graphic medium of our day. It does not have to be, indeed cannot be - compared to painting - it has different means and aims (Edward Weston Quotes)
Modern Art is being used to index me. Surely it was a source but photographers have influenced Modern Art quite as deeply as they have been influenced, maybe more. Anyway painters don’t have a copyright on M. A. We were all born in the same upheaval (Edward Weston Quotes)
Art is based on order. The world is full of ‘sloppy Bohemians’ and their work betrays them (Edward Weston Quotes)
When a photographer masters the tools and processes of the art, then the quality of the work is only limited by his creative vision. (Edward Weston Quotes)
My own eyes are no more than scouts on a preliminary search, or the camera’s eye may entirely change my idea. (Edward Weston Quotes)
My own eyes are no more than scouts on a preliminary search, for the camera’s eye may entirely change my idea. (Edward Weston Quotes)
Anything more than 500 yards from the car just isn’t photogenic (Edward Weston Quotes)
The camera sees more than the eye, so why not make use of it? (Edward Weston Quotes)
Good composition is merely the strongest way of seeing (Edward Weston Quotes)
I see no reason for recording the obvious (Edward Weston Quotes)
Photography, not soft gutless painting, is best equipped to bore into the spirit of today (Edward Weston Quotes)
If I am interested, amazed, stimulated to work, that is sufficient reason to thank the gods, and go ahead! (Edward Weston Quotes)
Consulting the rules of composition before taking a photograph, is like consulting the laws of gravity before going for a walk (Edward Weston Quotes)
A lifetime can well be spent correcting and improving one’s own faults without bothering about others (Edward Weston Quotes)
I find myself every so often looking at my ground glass as though the unrecorded image might escape me! (Edward Weston Quotes)
I am not limiting myself to theories, so I never question the rightness to my approach (Edward Weston Quotes)
I want the stark beauty that a lens can so exactly render presented without interference of artistic effect (Edward Weston Quotes)
Now, to consult the rules of composition before making a picture is a little like consulting the law of gravity before going for a walk (Edward Weston Quotes)
Photography to the amateur is recreation, to the professional it is work, and hard work too, no matter how pleasurable it my be (Edward Weston Quotes)
My own eyes are no more than scouts on a preliminary search, or the camera’s eye may entirely change my idea (Edward Weston Quotes)
My true program is summed up in one word: life. I expect to photograph anything suggested by that word which appeals to me (Edward Weston Quotes)
