Sebastiao Salgado Quotes

I’m not an artist. An artist makes an object. Me, it’s not an object, I work in history, I’m a storyteller Picture Quote #1

I can be an artist a posteriori, not a priori. If my pictures tell the story, our story, human story, then in a hundred years, then they can be considered an art reference, but now they are not made as art. I’m a journalist. My life’s on the road, my studio is the planet Picture Quote #1

What I want is the world to remember the problems and the people I photograph. What I want is to create a discussion about what is happening around the world and to provoke some debate with these pictures. Nothing more than this. I don’t want people to look at them and appreciate the light and the palate of tones. I want them to look inside and see what the pictures represent, and the kind of people I photograph Picture Quote #1

I try with my pictures to raise a question, to provoke a debate, so that we can discuss problems together and come up with solutions Picture Quote #1

I have been photographing the portrait of an end of an era, as machines and computers replace human workers. What we have in these pictures is an archeology Picture Quote #1

The language that photography has is a formal language. Any photographer is doing something formal. If it’s formal, then it must be an aesthetic way to communicate Picture Quote #1

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken - Oscar Wilde Quotes

I told you I'll be ready in FIVE minutes, stop calling me every half hour - Funny Quotes

There comes a moment when it is no longer you who takes the photograph, but receives the way to do it quite naturally and fully Picture Quote #1

I have tried to bring about better communication between people. I believe that humanitarian photography is like economics. Economy is a kind of sociology, as is documentary photography Picture Quote #1

We are one human race, and there must be understanding among all men. For those who look at the problems of today, my big hope is that they understand. That they understand that the population is quite big enough, that they must be informed that they must have economic development, that they must have social development, and must be integrated into all parts of the world Picture Quote #1

I work alone. Humans are incredible, because when you come alone, they will receive you, they accept you, they protect you, they give you all things that you need, and they teach you all things you must know. When you come with two persons or three persons, you have a group in front of them. They don’t discuss with the new persons what is important to them Picture Quote #1

I tell a little bit of my life to them, and they tell a little of theirs to me. The picture itself is just the tip of the iceberg Picture Quote #1

There are moments that you suffer a lot, moments you won’t photograph. There are some people you like better than others. But you give, you receive, you cherish, you are there. When you are really there, you know when you see the picture later what you are seeing Picture Quote #1

When I first saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew - William Shakespeare Quotes

If cats could talk, they wouldn't - Cat Quotes

It’s more important for a photographer to have very good shoes, than to have a very good camera Picture Quote #1
