Photography Quotes

Photography is a tool for dealing with things everybody knows about but isn’t attending to. My photographs are intended to represent something you don’t see Picture Quote #1

I love photography, I love food, and I love traveling, and to put those three things together would just be the ultimate dream Picture Quote #1

Because I know war... because I know the horror, I don’t want to add to it........ After the war, we felt the need to celebrate life, and for me photography was the means to achieve this Picture Quote #1

To me, photography is like a quest, or a pilgrimage, or a hunt. I love painting, I love music, but photography is what has allowed me to get outside of myself Picture Quote #1

I have never had any hero in my life or in photography. I just travel, I look and everything influences me. Everything influences me. I am quite different now than I was 40 years ago. For 40 years I have been traveling. I never stay in one country more than three months. Why? Because I was interested in seeing, and if I stay longer I become blind Picture Quote #1

Because powerful images are fixed in the mind more readily than words, the photographer needs no interpreter. A photograph means the same thing all over the world and no translator is required. Photography is truly a universal language, transcending all boundaries of race, politics and nationality Picture Quote #1

Photography is about how you look and how you dream and how you see and what your interests are Picture Quote #1

What I like best about underwater photography is giving a visual voice to the invisible. What I like least is the prospect of drowning Picture Quote #1

Objectivity is of the very essence of photography, its contribution and at the same time its limitation Picture Quote #1

If you want to write you should learn the alphabet. You write and write and in the end you hava a beautiful, perfect alphabet. But it isn’t the alphabed that is important. The important thing is what you are writing, what you are expressing. The same thing goes for photography. Photographs can be technically perfect and even beautiful, but they have no expression Picture Quote #1

With the camera, it’s all or nothing. You either get what you’re after at once, or what you do has to be worthless. I don’t think the essence of photography has the hand in it so much. The essence is done very quietly with a flash of the mind, and with a machine. I think too that photography is editing, editing after the taking. After knowing what to take, you have to do the editing Picture Quote #1

Photography was a license to go wherever I wanted and to do what I wanted to do Picture Quote #1

The art is the challenge which you must meet every day: the technique you should learn to control with time. The science and the art of photography are really one, and not opposed to each other Picture Quote #1

And if a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it’s as though I’ve neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up. I know that the accident of my being a photographer has made my life possible Picture Quote #1

There’s an idea that it’s hard to be a woman artist. People assume that women have fewer opportunities, less power. But it’s not any harder to be a woman artist than to be a male artist. We all take what we are given and use the parts of ourselves that feed the work. We make our way. Photographers, men and women, are particularly lucky. Photography lets you find yourself. It is a passport to people and places and to possibilities Picture Quote #1

We could teach photography as a way to make a living, and best of all, somehow to get students to experience for themselves photography as a way of life Picture Quote #1

Photography doesn’t teach you to express your emotions; it teaches you how to see Picture Quote #1

Just as typography is human speech translated into what can be read, so photography is the translation of reality into a readable image Picture Quote #1

I could learn photography. That could be something to want. I could photograph children. I could have my own children. I would give them yellow roses. And if they got too loud, I would just put them some place quiet. Put them in the oven. And I would kiss them every day, and tell them you don’t have to be anybody, because I would know that being somebody doesn’t make you anybody anyway Picture Quote #1

What is truth in photography? It can be told in a hundred different ways. Every thirtieth of a second when the shutter snaps, its capturing a different piece of information Picture Quote #1

Only in black and white can I see the design and textures. I don’t consider color photography art. Black and white is an interpretation. Color is a duplication Picture Quote #1

It’s about time we started to take photography seriously and treat it as a hobby Picture Quote #1

I drifted into photography like one drifts into prostitution. First I did it to please myself, then I did it to please my friends, and eventually I did it for the money Picture Quote #1

Photography to me is an addiction. I get jittery after a couple of days without a camera. Everyone who knows me says I’m happiest when I’m shooting Picture Quote #1

I love beautiful women. I love to show their personality, their sexuality. There’s a fashion side to my erotic pictures: I love beautiful shoes and jewellery. But the erotic work I do is too daring and provocative for a fashion magazine. It’s more fun, and if you have the right girl who likes it, more exciting, too. It’s fashion photography, but with fewer clothes Picture Quote #1

Photography in our time leaves us with a grave responsibility. While we are playing in our studios with broken flowerpots, oranges, nude studies and still lifes, one day we know that we will be brought to account: life is passing before our eyes without our ever having seen a thing Picture Quote #1

My greatest aim has been to advance the art of photography and to make it what I think I have, a great and truthful medium of history Picture Quote #1

I like photography because it is a reality medium, unlike drawing which is unreal. I like to mess with reality... to bend reality. Some of my works beg the question of is it real or not? Picture Quote #1

If the artist only reproduces superficial features as photography does, if he copies the lineaments of a face exactly, without reference to character, he deserves no admiration. The resemblance which he ought to obtain is that of the soul Picture Quote #1

It is the artist who is truthful and it is photography which lies, for in reality time does not stop Picture Quote #1
