Lens Quotes

From the first moment I handled my lens with a tender ardour, and it has become to me as a living thing, with voice and memory and creative vigour Picture Quote #1

Titles or organizational structures, that’s not the lens through which we see our peers Picture Quote #1

The answers to our questions are everywhere; we just need to change the lens with which we see the world Picture Quote #1

We are the strongest filter we can place before the lens. We point the lens both outward and inward Picture Quote #1

A photographer is like a writer... you’re writing with your lens so make sure you tell a good story Picture Quote #1

You see the world, you end up in jail three or four times, you accumulate experience. And it gives you something to say. If you don’t have anything to say then you shouldn’t be making films. It’s nothing to do with what lens you’re using Picture Quote #1

With a short lens I can reveal the hidden things near at hand, with a long lens the hidden things far away. The telephoto lens provides a new visual sensation for people: it widens their horizons. And, conversely, the things under our nose invariably look good when blown up really big Picture Quote #1

Drama is drama, and it’s really... if it’s something small, you put a magnifying glass up to it; if it’s something big, you use a wide lens Picture Quote #1

If I am lucky, something new and inexplicable often appears in front of my lens. I am always surprised by the mystery of how my best images appear. That excitement and shock of discovery makes my life at these moments a gift Picture Quote #1

You need to marry the qualitative with the quantitative. It better informs us so we can decide what to do. We can’t be afraid of data and analysis. We have to use that lens Picture Quote #1

If you focus the rays of the sun through a lens, they can burn cotton or a piece of paper; but, the scattered rays cannot do this act. If you collect the dissipated rays of the mind and focus them at a point, you will have wonderful concentration Picture Quote #1

The world I feel, within the realm of art, is more genuine than the wrorld of matter. Artistic feeling is not tape measures, spectrographs, or flash camera lens Picture Quote #1

I don’t see anybody as either ordinary or extraordinary. I see them simply as people in front of my lens Picture Quote #1

I am not a scientist. I have never analyzed the far reaches of the solar system through the lens of a telescope nor scrutinized cancer cells under a microscope Picture Quote #1

You have to kind of be invisible when you photograph children, so you use a longer lens Picture Quote #1

You discovered yourself and what really mattered only after you passed through the lens of the fairy tale, imposed on every human female and male alike, that someone existed out in the forest of the world for you to love and marry Picture Quote #1

For this very reason I refuse all the tricks of the trade and professional virtuosity which could make me betray my career. As soon as I find a subject which interests me, I leave it to the lens to record it truthfully. Look at the reporters and at the amateur photographer! They both have only one goal; to record a memory or a document. And that is pure photography Picture Quote #1

When a person looks through a colored lens, everything seems to be that color. If the lens is tinted yellow or blue, everything seems yellow or blue. A person who looks at life through the lens of gratitude will always find things to be grateful for Picture Quote #1

If a photographic plate under the center of a lens focused on the heavens is exposed for hours, it comes to reveal stars so far away that even the most powerful telescopes fail to reveal them to the naked eye. In a similar way, time and concentration allow the intellect to perceive a ray of light in the darkness of the most complex problem Picture Quote #1

Artists see the world in a very different way than everyone else, and it’s important when the artist points a lens at the law Picture Quote #1

When you see what you express through photography, you realize all the things that can no longer be the objectives of painting. Why should an artist persist in treating subjects that can be established so clearly with the lens of a camera? Picture Quote #1

You do not see with the lens of the eye. You seen through that, and by means of that, but you see with the soul of the eye Picture Quote #1

The mind can be thought of as containing reels and reels of motion picture film about our past experiences. These images are superimposed not only on each other but also on the lens through which we experience the present Picture Quote #1

This was middle school, the age of miracles, the time when kids shot up three inches over the summer, when breasts bloomed from nothing, when voices dipped and dove. Our first flaws were emerging, but they were being corrected. Blurry vision could be fixed invisibly with the magic of the contact lens. Crooked teeth were pulled straight with braces. Spotty skin could be chemically cleared. Some girls were turning beautiful. A few boys were growing tall Picture Quote #1

Photography is much more about elimination than inclusion. The images we make with a lens typically eliminate ninety percent of our field of view and everything that is out of our field of view. The shutter slices time, eliminating all moments before and after it opens and closes. Three dimensions are reduced to two. And in some cases color is removed. How can we call these kinds of artifacts unaltered? Picture Quote #1

The longer we view ourselves through a distorted lens, the more likely we are to believe a distorted truth Picture Quote #1

Movies are movies. Some bend light through a lens. Some create moving images virtually. At the end of the day, movies are movies Picture Quote #1

I’m not a journalist any more. I don’t have to stick a microphone up somebody’s nostril and I don’t have a camera lens behind my shoulder, I think people talk to me in a much franker way Picture Quote #1

Art is the lens through which I experience the world. Art is the medium to present the human condition... love, fear, bewilderment, pleasure, distaste, brotherhood and all the subtleties that we all know Picture Quote #1

Hyperrealism is more about objectifying... how an object can be portrayed when it is seen through a camera’s lens... all my paintings are about an object being viewed through human eyes Picture Quote #1
