Photography Quotes

Unlike the older, more humanly shaped arts, which begin with a seed and accumulate their form organically, photography clips its substance out of an actual continuum Picture Quote #1

The language that photography has is a formal language. Any photographer is doing something formal. If it’s formal, then it must be an aesthetic way to communicate Picture Quote #1

Simulations directly relate to the process of and complications in photography. They also overtly create layers of fantasies, myths and interventions... The simulation confuses the idea of a truth. I’ve always been interested in this kind of theater and illusion at the foundation of belief Picture Quote #1

Actually, I didn’t study photography at first. I went to school for painting my first year, poetry my second year, graphic design my third and fourth year, and photography my fifth Picture Quote #1

I admire photographers who can take much more ordinarily subject matter and make it transcend that ordinariness, so that it becomes something else fresh and new. It opens this doorway. I really admire people who can do that with photography Picture Quote #1

Photography by nature is spiritual, considering it comes from the darkness to show the light Picture Quote #1

I used photography to distance myself from a world that I loathed and was powerless to improve Picture Quote #1

Photography is motionless and frozen, it has the cryogenic power to preserve objects through time without decay Picture Quote #1

Photography is full of symbolism, it’s a symbolic language. You have to be able to materialize all your thoughts in one single image Picture Quote #1

But sports photography isn’t something you just pick up overnight. You can’t do it once a year for fun and expect to do a good job. And I take pride in what I do Picture Quote #1

My studio, nicknamed ‘Funny Farm,’ is in a hidden location. It’s very private. Not only do I create my photography there, but it is also where I write my books and create music Picture Quote #1

Most photographers go and photograph something that they see, that exists, and that somebody else has created - they document it. But fashion photographers have to create what they’re going to photograph. We have to go into the thought and build it up, get a girl, get a guy, get a situation, get the house, get the decor. It’s the meaning of the word photography: writing with light Picture Quote #1

One of the magical things about photography is the transformation that takes place when you photograph something. Something that inherently has very little going for it in terms of the interest you take in it, can become infinitely more interesting when rendered as a photograph. It’s no longer a building. It’s a photograph Picture Quote #1

The photography is not the aim of the work; the articulation of the work through photography is another way of understanding what’s going on and what’s happening outside Picture Quote #1

You couldn’t make a cheap drama. That would be too low-budget. Drama has to have good photography and well-known actors Picture Quote #1

Photography works upon the human eye: what is seen is reflected in the brain without the need for complicated thought. In this way the bourgeoisie takes advantage of the mental indolence of the masses and does good business as well Picture Quote #1

There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment. This kind of photography is realism. But realism is not enough - there has to be vision, and the two together can make a good photograph Picture Quote #1

Good films are not made by accident, nor is good photography. You can have good things happen, on occasion, by accident that can be applied at that moment in a film, but your craft isn’t structured around such things, except in beer commercials Picture Quote #1

The similarity between Van Gogh, Haiku poetry, and good photography is the concern for mortality. That things are very fleeting, that there are people who are more sensitive to death than others. The threat of time is of great concern to them. And the camera is a very appropriate instrument for many Picture Quote #1

I started out doing music videos and photography, and I always loved writing. Filmmaking seemed to be a good compilation of all these skills in a way that allowed me to tell a story ‘greater than the sum of its parts.’ Picture Quote #1

I don’t see how a woman in documentary photography could have children. I think it’s a very difficult thing to do to raise a family, and I have enormous respect for people who do it. I’d hate to do something like that and not be good at it Picture Quote #1

The formula for doing a good job in photography is to think like a poet Picture Quote #1

Photography was not invented to serve a clearly understood function. There was in fact widespread uncertainty, even among its inventors, as to what it might be good for 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

Photography is a great adventure in thinking and looking, a wonderful magic toy that miraculously manages to combine our adult awareness with the fairy-tale world of childhood, a never-ending journey through great and small, through variations and the realm of illusions and appearances, a labyrinthine and specular place of multitudes and simulation Picture Quote #1

I can’t go into Oklahoma without thinking about Larry Clark’s photography book ‘Tulsa.’ It’s a great book about how life works Picture Quote #1

Everyone is a photographer now, remember. That’s the great thing about photography Picture Quote #1

Photography works hand in glove with image and memory and therefore possesses their notable epidemic power Picture Quote #1

I didn’t do so well in the academic world, so I think the only way I could express myself was through visual art - anything I could get my hands on, whether it was glassblowing, sculpture, painting, or photography. I always wanted to be a painter. Or a farmer Picture Quote #1

I never considered myself a good photographer. I still don’t. I thought of myself as a hard worker. My camera was a sponge and I had an instinct that athletes have - anticipation. Photography really represents an enormous amount of anticipation - understanding what might be there the next moment and being prepared for it Picture Quote #1
