| "As a photographer my world is about making decisions about color, about light, about what to leave in the frame and what to leave out, about how to tell a story; and the pure joy of looking through the lens composing the image" ―Gene Sasse |

quotes on photography |
||||||
| “It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart, and head.” –Henri Cartier-Bresson |
||||||
| "For me photography is just another way of keeping a diary" – Gene Sasse |
||||||
| "What makes photography a strange invention is that its primary raw materials are light and time." – John Berger |
||||||
| “One does not think during creative work, any more than one thinks when driving a car. But one has a background of years – learning, unlearning, success, failure, dreaming, thinking, experience, all this – then the moment of creation, the focusing of all into the moment. So I can make ‘without thought,’ fifteen carefully considered negatives, one every fifteen minutes, given material with as many possibilities. But there is all the eyes have seen in this life to influence me.” – Edward Weston |
||||||
| “A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.” ― Ansel Adams |
||||||
| "I hope you'll make mistakes. If you're making mistakes, it means you're out there doing something. And the mistakes in themselves can be useful. I once misspelled Caroline, in a letter, transposing the A and the O, and I thought, 'Coraline looks like a real name…' And remember that whatever discipline you are in, whether you are a musician or a photographer, a fine artist or a cartoonist, a writer, a dancer, a designer, whatever you do you have one thing that's unique. You have the ability to make art. And for me, and for so many of the people I have known, that's been a lifesaver. The ultimate lifesaver. It gets you through good times and it gets you through the other ones.Life is sometimes hard. Things go wrong, in life and in love and in business and in friendship and in health and in all the other ways that life can go wrong. And when things get tough, this is what you should do. Make good art." | ||||||
| “The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.” — Dorothea Lange |
||||||
| “The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.” — Andy Warhol |
||||||
| “It’s more important for a photographer to have very good shoes, than to have a very good camera.” — Sebastiao Salgado |
||||||
| “Photography has nothing to do with cameras.” — Lucas Gentry |
||||||
| “It’s more important for a photographer to have very good shoes, than to have a very good camera.” — Sebastiao Salgado |
||||||
| “You don’t make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.” ― Ansel Adams |
||||||
| “If you are out there shooting, things will happen for you. If you’re not out there, you’ll only hear about it.” — Jay Maisel |
||||||
| “Photographing people is about listening. Not just to the words that comes out of people’s mouths but to the untold signals they send you. Their fear. Their insecurities. Their pain. Their unspoken desires, wishes and dreams. As a photographer you are a storyteller but in order to tell their story, you need to really, deeply listen to what they have to say to you. It doesn't matter if it is your subject, your client, your team. You need to be able to communicate with them, listen to them and set your own ego aside. We are not the heroes in other people’s stories. We are the guides. It is not about us. It is about them” — Sissela Johansson |
||||||
| “A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense and is thereby a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety” — Ansel Adams |
