Photography Quotes

Some people’s photography is an art. Not mine. Art is a dirty word in photography. All this fine art crap is killing it already Picture Quote #1

Contemporary art photography, or, more specifically, what I would term mainstream art photography, represents for the most part the mining of an exhausted lode Picture Quote #1

There still is some opposition to it in some museums and art schools, but I think photography has really grown into a mature art form Picture Quote #1

Is photography an art? There is no point in trying to find out if it is an art. Art is old-fashioned. We need something else Picture Quote #1

The recent extraordinary discovery in Photography, as applied in the operations of the mind, has reduced the art of novel-writing to the merest mechanical labour Picture Quote #1

To me, photography is not just a visual art, but something closer to poetry - or at least to some poetry, such as the haiku Picture Quote #1

Speed, the fundamental condition of the activities of our day is the power of photography, indeed the modern art of today, the art of the split second Picture Quote #1

Since photography gives us every guarantee of exactitude that we could desire (they really believe that, the mad fools !), then photography and art are the same thing Picture Quote #1

... photography is just a medium. It’s like a typewriter. Photography as an art doesn’t interest me an awful lot; as a participant, though I like to look at it Picture Quote #1

That celebrated marriage of science and art, photography, seemed at the time to join together how we look at the world, art, with how we were coming to know it, science Picture Quote #1

Edward [Weston] was the first artist - and I don’t use the word lightly - to make a living doing art photography. Other photographers did commercial work, or worked for the government Picture Quote #1

I take pleasure in working with the non-art photographs that reside in public archives, essentially authorless and owned by the world itself, because I find the world of fine art photography to be pretty silly and pretentious Picture Quote #1

I love photography and I love the art of photography. So when I’m working with high-level art photographers, I give them artistic freedom because I want that for myself when it’s my turn to do my work and I never try and control it or say I’ll only do this or I want it like that Picture Quote #1

It’s a process of getting to know people. That’s what photography is to me. It’s about paying attention, not screwing up and blowing a great opportunity Picture Quote #1

I was drawn to street photography because there are pictures everywhere there: a woman holding a dog, a baby screaming to be put in a pram, kids playing punch ball, stores with huge barrels of kosher pickles outside. I wanted to photograph life, and here it was Picture Quote #1

I think that’s the strength of photography - to decide the decisive moment, to click in the moment to come up with a picture that never comes back again Picture Quote #1

I was really nervous working with actors, since I come from a photography background Picture Quote #1

No photographer should be blamed when, instead of capturing reality, he tries to show things he has seen only in his imagination. Photography is the youngest art form. All attempts to enlarge its frontiers are important and should be encouraged Picture Quote #1

Photography has become an outstanding and indispensable means of propaganda in the revolutionary struggle Picture Quote #1

The thing about photography is, some people surround themselves with extremely strong subject matter. And unless you’re a moron, you’re going to get a really strong photograph Picture Quote #1

Photography is a holding together of opposites: Light and dark, beautiful and ugly, sublime and banal, concious and unconcious. I am still struck by the power of photography to strip away the bark of the mind and reveal the visceral workings underneath Picture Quote #1

I don’t like how women’s bodies are Page 3 news. I just don’t think that’s big news. Women’s bodies are women’s bodies, and that’s that. And I love to see beautiful - the female form in great art and great photography Picture Quote #1

I think people just see cinematography as being about photography and innovative shots and beautiful lighting. We all want our movies to look great visually, to be beguiling and enticing, but I think that what really defines a great cinematographer is one who loves story Picture Quote #1

[My mother] died a few months ago, and when she was dead I kissed her lips. For me it was a beautiful moment. From then on I started living with her, asking her from time to time if she was alright, if she was pleased with me. But these things are far greater than photography, and I probably shouldn’t be speaking about them Picture Quote #1

You know, my parents have always been incredibly supportive. I’m an only child, so we’re very close. There’s just the three of us. They’re exceptional parents but also great friends. My father was able to take his hobby, photography, and turn it into a beautiful career. So when they saw how much I loved acting, they were 100 percent behind me Picture Quote #1

There is something beautiful about photography; it allows the self to be reunited with the world Picture Quote #1

I became interested in photography during my first visit to the United States. I was a student at a university in Holland. I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the American West. That was when I learned about the tradition of nature in American photography Picture Quote #1

What makes [photography] obscene is its terrible cruelty. Happiness may be fleeting, but it’s the reason we go on living. Photography is the joy that precedes pain, the moment of life just before death Picture Quote #1

For me it is clear that photography prizes should be for those being photographed and not for the photographers Picture Quote #1

What it all boils down to for me is having the enthusiasm to do something for enjoyment and being stimulated by what’s around you. That’s what photography does for me Picture Quote #1
