Camera Quotes

With the camera, it’s all or nothing. You either get what you’re after at once, or what you do has to be worthless. I don’t think the essence of photography has the hand in it so much. The essence is done very quietly with a flash of the mind, and with a machine. I think too that photography is editing, editing after the taking. After knowing what to take, you have to do the editing Picture Quote #1

For that is the power of the camera: seize the familiar and give it new meanings, a special significance by the mark of a personality Picture Quote #1

The camera is not merely a reflecting pool and the photographs are not exactly the mirror, mirror on the wall that speaks with a twisted tongue Picture Quote #1

The way someone who’s being photographed presents himself to the camera, and the effect of the photographer’s response on that presence, is what the making of a portrait is all about Picture Quote #1

Camera lies all the time. It’s all it does is lie, because when you choose this moment instead of this moment, when you… the moment you’ve made a choice, you’re lying about something larger. Lying is an ugly word. I don’t mean lying. But any artist picks and chooses what they want to paint or write about or say. Photographers are the same Picture Quote #1

As a young person, and I know it’s hard to believe that I was shy, but you could take your camera, and it would take you to places: it was like having a friend, like having someone to go out with and look at the world. I would do things with a camera I wouldn’t do normally if I was just by myself Picture Quote #1

Camera and eye are together a time machine with which the mind and human being can do the same kind of violence to time and space as dreams Picture Quote #1

I don’t think about what camera I should use that much. I just pick up the one that looks nicest on the day Picture Quote #1

The camera hound of the future wears on his forehead a lump a little larger than a walnut Picture Quote #1

I am a man of very many anxieties but doing strange things with the camera is not one of them Picture Quote #1

I always carry a camera because it is so important to me to take pictures and document all the incredible things and places I have been able to see through this experience Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I feel like... the world is a place I bought a ticket to. It’s a big show for me, as if it wouldn’t happen if I wasn’t there with a camera Picture Quote #1

I’d really rather leave it to others to say what they see in it and to see if I’ve put something into my photographs beyond a mere recording. Yes, I’ve chosen the camera position, how I’m going to print the negative, the angel of the lens, what I’m going to include and exclude in the composition, so on and so forth. But, I’m still photographing a work of art, and I would rather leave it to others to comment on my work, as I just left it to you Picture Quote #1

A camera can get you close without the burden of commitment. It’s a nifty device that way, a magical passport into people’s lives with no permanent strings attached Picture Quote #1

Once digital came, I could see my images instantly right there on the camera. I think that makes you a better photographer because you can see right there if your subject’s eyes are closed or if you exposed it wrong and if it’s too bright or dark. You can fix it right here. With film, you wouldn’t know until you got the prints back if something was messed up, and then there was nothing you could do. That was a huge advantage Picture Quote #1

There is no off position on my visual switch, and I don’t want one. I love, and always have, telling stories with my camera Picture Quote #1

The actors feel very free. The actor, he doesn’t need to think about where the camera is, he just has to focus on what he’s doing and forget the camera. The camera is never in the perfect position, and I think this is what keeps this feeling of reality. The frame is not perfect Picture Quote #1

When I made my first film, I think the thing was probably helped me the most was that it was such an unusual thing to do in the early 50s for someone who actually go and make a film. People thought it was impossible. It really is terribly easy. All anybody needs is a camera, a tape recorder, and some imagination Picture Quote #1

Sensitive people faced with the prospect of a camera portrait put on a face they think is one they would like to show the world very often what lies behind the facade is rare and more wonderful than the subject knows or dares to believe Picture Quote #1

When I get up in the morning I brush my teeth and go about my business, and if I am going anywhere interesting I take my camera along Picture Quote #1

In a jump, the subject, in a sudden burst of energy, overcomes gravity. He cannot simultaneously control his expressions, his facial and his limb muscles. The mask falls. The real self becomes visible. One only has to snap it with the camera Picture Quote #1

I know of few actresses who have this incredible talent for communicating with a camera lens. She would try to seduce a camera as if it were a human being Picture Quote #1

I make the woman look at the camera as a symbol of all the eyes that will see the picture I am making Picture Quote #1

Photography to me is an addiction. I get jittery after a couple of days without a camera. Everyone who knows me says I’m happiest when I’m shooting Picture Quote #1

The easy bit is picking up a camera and pointing and shooting. But then you have to decide what it is you’re trying to say and express Picture Quote #1

When I began to photograph nudes, I let myself be guided by this camera, and instead of photographing what I saw, I photographed what the camera was seeing. I interfered very little, and the lens produced anatomical images and shapes which my eyes had never observed Picture Quote #1

If you don’t have a camera, the best thing you can do is describe how great it looked Picture Quote #1

It’s a lot easier to take pictures if you always have the camera with you Picture Quote #1

Balance of light is the problem, not the amount. Balance between shadows and highlights determines where the emphasis goes in the picture... make sure the major light in a picture falls at right angles to the camera Picture Quote #1

I saw that the camera could be a weapon against poverty, against racism, against all sorts of social wrongs. I knew at that point I had to have a camera Picture Quote #1
