Photograph Quotes

I have been so very, very fortunate in my life. I’ve met or been in contact with several of my childhood heroes. I’ve interacted with people all over this planet, and even though I couldn’t possibly hope to remember all their names, I remember a photograph, a poem, a sound, a joke, kind words of encouragement. All is not lost Picture Quote #1

I choose colors I like and will photograph well. I don’t do color theory! Picture Quote #1

I saw a photograph of a wedding conducted by Reverend Moon of the Unification Church. I wanted to understand this event, and the only way to understand it was to write about it Picture Quote #1

You open a section of ‘The New York Times,’ and there’s a review or a story on a choreographer or a dancer, and there’s an informative, clear image of a dancer. This is, in my view, not an interesting photograph Picture Quote #1

I have no intention of flattering people. I like wrinkles and crow’s feet and flaws, and somebody should know, if I’m going to photograph them, that’s going to show up, you know? Picture Quote #1

I remember when I was in the prisoner camp, I was a French prisoner. And I saw the first photograph from the concentration camps, and we discussed it with other prisoners. And our feeling was we did not only lose the war, we lost also our honor Picture Quote #1

Since a photograph is frozen and mute, since there is no before and after, I don’t want there to be a conscious awareness of any kind of literal narrative. And that’s why I really try not to pump up motivation or plot or anything like that Picture Quote #1

Criticism is hypocrisy; society is hypocrisy. I’m a tourist. I’m a consumer. I do the things that I photograph and can be criticized of Picture Quote #1

In the end, maybe the correct language would be how the fact of putting four edges around a collection of information or facts transforms it. A photograph is not what was photographed, it’s something else Picture Quote #1

With the Larry Bertlemann portrait, I started with a photograph that I could use for it. I built the drawing’s identity to serve as a graphic identity. After a number of sketches, I went into my own abstract vernacular of drawn lines and shapes to create the composition for the poster design Picture Quote #1

What difference does it make whether you’re looking at a photograph or looking at a still life in front of you? You still have to look Picture Quote #1

There is a big difference between The Merchant of Venice and a photograph of two males of different races in an erotic pose on a marble table top Picture Quote #1

I’ve never liked the word ‘celebrity.’ I like to photograph people who are good at what they do Picture Quote #1

When I go to photograph somebody, they say, What do you want me to do? Those are the most frightening words in the English language. I want to say, Please, go over into good light and do something unusual Picture Quote #1

Photographers usually want to photograph facts and things. But I’m interested in the nature of the thing itself. A photograph of someone sleeping tells me nothing about their dream state; a photograph of a corpse tells me nothing about the nature of death. My work is about my life as an event, and I find myself to be very temporal, transient Picture Quote #1

When people look at a photograph, they believe it... My photographs crawl along that edge. I document the world, but from my own biased point of view Picture Quote #1

I was looking at a photograph of the 1997 election campaign yesterday, and I thought: ‘My God. Did I really have that hairstyle? And that Tory blue suit?’ Picture Quote #1

The reason I do photographs is to help people understand my music, so it’s very important that I am the same, emotionally, in the photographs as in the music. Most people’s eyes are much better developed than their ears. If they see a certain emotion in the photograph, then they’ll understand the music Picture Quote #1

If you could see a photograph of what it took to make an advertising photograph - things you don’t think about, like the photo assistant carefully arranging the meatballs - the degree of unnaturalness would be astonishing. Yet it produces an image that looks natural, and is orchestrated to provoke basic emotional responses Picture Quote #1

I always used to say to my ex-girlfriends that I could never take a good photograph of them, because there was too much of an intimacy between us, but actually the real thing is, if there’s a proper intimacy between you... I find it really compelling and exciting - it’s quite good foreplay Picture Quote #1

I paint what cannot be photographed, something from the imagination... I photograph the things I don’t want to paint, things that are already in existence Picture Quote #1

I try not to make conscious decisions about what I am looking for. I don’t make elaborate preparations before I go to a location. Essentially I walk, explore, discover and photograph Picture Quote #1

If you’re not going to tell something if you’re not going to expose something it’s real easy to go in and photograph from behind the camera and not expose any of your weaknesses Picture Quote #1

Everything has the potential to be extraordinary, whether an old photograph, a book or a life. If you find it ordinary, you simply need to take a closer look Picture Quote #1

If you see a gaggle of teenagers walking towards you, you tend not to make eye contact, because you know they’re going to recognise you. You learn to adapt: 99.999 per cent of people aren’t looking to be harmful or unpleasant; they just want something, a photograph or an autograph Picture Quote #1

I don’t go out looking for pictures. I go out, and if something catches my eye, that’s reason enough to photograph it Picture Quote #1

I like to photograph people who have strength and dignity in their faces. Whatever life has done to them, it hasn’t destroyed them Picture Quote #1
