Photography Quotes

It is easy to take a photograph, but it is harder to make a masterpiece in photography than in any other art medium Picture Quote #1

I believe photography is a tool to express our positive assessment of the world. A tool to acquire ultimate happiness and belief Picture Quote #1

A paradox: the same century invented history and photography. But history is a memory fabricated according to positive formulas, a pure intellectual discourse which abolishes mythic time; and the photograph is a certain but fugitive testimony Picture Quote #1

In a world and a life that moves so fast, photography just makes the sound go out and it makes you stop and take a pause. Photography calms me Picture Quote #1

If photography is allowed to stand in for art in some of its functions it will soon supplant or corrupt it completely thanks to the natural support it will find in the stupidity of the multitude. It must return to its real task, which is to be the servant of the sciences and the arts, but the very humble servant, like printing and shorthand which have neither created nor supplanted literature Picture Quote #1

That the outer man is a picture of the inner, and the face an expression and revelation of the whole character, is a presumption likely enough in itself, and therefore a safe one to go on; borne out as it is by the fact that people are always anxious to see anyone who has made himself famous. Photography offers the most complete satisfaction of our curiosity Picture Quote #1

It is a cruel, ironical art, photography. The dragging of captured moments into the future; moments that should have been allowed to be evaporate into the past; should exist only in memories, glimpsed through the fog of events that came after. Photographs force us to see people before their future weighed them down Picture Quote #1

I threw myself into this artform because photography had given me a new sense of mission and identity Picture Quote #1

After my kids were born I found myself incorporating my photography into different art endeavors and from there it just blossomed. I have always had to have an outlet for my creativity and when my life became more about raising my family than the bright lights of show business exploring my photo art was a great outlet for me Picture Quote #1

Photography is a way of putting distance between myself and the work which sometimes helps me to see more clearly what it is that I have made Picture Quote #1

The problem of direct colour photography has been facing us since the turn of the last century Picture Quote #1

My son does a little photography, but he’s not involved the way I was Picture Quote #1

Thus, not merely what it can do, but the rate at which it can do it, has to be considered in estimating the value of photography as an ally in astronomy Picture Quote #1

The magic of photography is metaphysical. What you see in the photograph isn’t what you saw at the time. The real skill of photography is organized visual lying Picture Quote #1

I don’t think photography has anything remotely to do with the brain. It has to do with eye appeal Picture Quote #1

I don’t think there’s any such thing as teaching people photography, other than influencing them a little. People have to be their own learners. They have to have a certain talent Picture Quote #1

Photography acts as a teaser, suggesting we can know something that we can never know. And the more we can’t obtain it, the more we want it Picture Quote #1

Photography seduces us into thinking we can believe photographs, whereas we can’t really believe that a picture can tell us any kind of truth at all Picture Quote #1

Photography can be a deceitful, superficial medium that leads us into believing something even though we know it’s not necessarily true. It lulls us into a false sense of complacency Picture Quote #1

Archaeologists have used aerial photographs to map archaeological sites since the 1920s, while the use of infrared photography started in the 1960s, and satellite imagery was first used in the 1970s Picture Quote #1

In the 70s, in Britain, if you were going to do serious photography, you were obliged to work in black-and-white. Color was the palette of commercial photography and snapshot photography Picture Quote #1

Photography is a small voice, at best, but sometimes one photograph, or a group of them, can lure our sense of awareness Picture Quote #1

Few speeches which have produced an electrical effect on an audience can bear the colorless photography of a printed record Picture Quote #1

My interest in architecture has always been sculptural. Most of my photography is of architectur Picture Quote #1

Photography, alone of the arts, seems perfected to serve the desire humans have for a moment - this very moment - to stay Picture Quote #1

It is my intention to present - through the medium of photography - intuitive observations of the natural world which may have meaning to the spectators Picture Quote #1

I always thought of photography as a naughty thing to do - that was one of my favorite things about it, and when I first did it, I felt very perverse Picture Quote #1

When I was teaching at Harvard in the 1970s, I went to Project Incorporated in Cambridge and took photography classes. I didn’t even know how to aim the camera in those days Picture Quote #1

Actually, I’m not all that interested in the subject of photography. Once the picture is in the box, I’m not all that interested in what happens next. Hunters, after all, aren’t cooks Picture Quote #1

In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little, human detail can become a Leitmotiv Picture Quote #1
