Photography Quotes

I never tried to revolutionise photography; I just do what I do and keep my fingers crossed that people will like it Picture Quote #1

I never liked dance photography; it’s very flat, and dance photography in the studio looks very contrived Picture Quote #1

So, I’m always around video games but I’ve always been interested in them from a visual perspective, with the graphic design and that whole thing. I don’t know if that comes from my love of photography or what but that’s always what’s held my interest about them Picture Quote #1

Being a celebrity you always get really good seats to sporting events but you never get as good seats as the photographers get. And I really love sports. So one of the scams I have going now is I want to learn sports photography so I can get better seats at a sporting event Picture Quote #1

I began after college, about 1972. I began to teach myself photography. I went to work for a local newspaper for four years as a kind of basic training Picture Quote #1

For me, documentary photography has always come with great responsibility. Not just to tell the story honestly and with empathy, but also to make sure the right people hear it. When you photograph somebody who is in pain or discomfort, they trust you to make sure the images will act as their advocate Picture Quote #1

I began drawing as a very young child and had a grandfather who experimented with photography, so those things constituted my first exposure to art Picture Quote #1

Before the people at large, and for that matter, the artists themselves, understand what photography really means, as I understand that term, it is essential for them to be taught the real meaning of art Picture Quote #1

Just like zillions of children, album covers educated and informed me, and certainly did I later transpose organically, rather than by intent, those principles both in fashion design and photography Picture Quote #1

I made a decision that to me, photography had to be something that I could feel. I could feel in my stomach. I could not take pictures that were not connected to my own inner life Picture Quote #1

A photograph isn’t necessarily a lie, but nor is it the truth. It’s more of a fleeting, subjective impression. What I most like about photography is the moment that you can’t anticipate: you have to be constantly watching for it, ready to welcome the unexpected Picture Quote #1

Look at the things around you, the immediate world around you. If you are alive, it will mean something to you, and if you care enough about photography, and if you know how to use it, you will want to photograph that meaningness. If you let other people’s vision get between the world and your own, you will achieve that extremely common and worthless thing, a pictorial photograph 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

For those aspiring to make a living from travel photography, it’s a sad fact that the boring shots are the shots that are going to make you money Picture Quote #1

When I first moved from photography to filmmaking, I was worried about how big I had to become. I was one person, or maybe me and an assistant, and I had these small cameras, and maybe a flash Picture Quote #1

The reason I often say, for me, photography is analogous to poetry, for my kind of work more so than journalism, is because it’s so open to interpretation. And I’m very happy having different interpretations of it 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

Rather than employing it as a supplement to active, conscious seeing, they used the medium as a substitute, paying less attention to the world than they had done previously, taking it on faith that photography automatically assured them possession of it Picture Quote #1

For the artist who practises photography, capturing the image is learning how to sketch on some medium, but is only half the challenge; learning how to print is applying a subjective pallet to that sketch, and completes the creative process Picture Quote #1

Photography is a unique art that allows people to go back, not only to rediscover themselves but also to get something in print for the first time 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

Photography has always been about documentary, the depiction of the instant, a moment, sometimes a place. Each project is somehow an experimentation of a specific context or a character Picture Quote #1

Photography is one of the most authentic and integral modes of expression possible in this world in which we live Picture Quote #1

Then in college, besides economics, I also majored in studio art and got involved in photography and making short films and acting. But I didn’t know you could make a living that way Picture Quote #1

Painting requires skill. Photography is created by the camera, and one cannot fully control what the camera sees. So people take many photographs because several must always be discarded Picture Quote #1

Photography has every right and every merit to claim our attention as the art of our age Picture Quote #1

I think I was shy as a young woman and realized that photography was an ideal way of expressing myself, of telling people what was going on without having to talk Picture Quote #1

I’m not a social person. Not that I’m not at ease. I’m pretty good, but it bores me. Not the people, but the whole thing. What for? It’s not very productive. I only want to do what I have to do: fashion, photography, books. And that’s all Picture Quote #1

Photography is an elegiac art, a twilight art. Most subjects photographed are, just by virtue of being photographed, touched with pathos Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I treat my film work as an extension of my photography. There are two different sets of rules there Picture Quote #1
