Camera Quotes

I have always avoided photographing in the studio. A woman does not spend her life sitting or standing in front of a seamless white paper background. Although it makes my life more complicated, I prefer to take my camera out into the street... and places that are out of bounds for photographers have always had a special attraction for me Picture Quote #1

I was always painting when I was a kid. But then when I handled a camera when I was 17, that was it for me. I loved photography. I would work 4 or 5 hours a day. It was like a calling Picture Quote #1

I had no aspirations to become a landscape photographer at all. In fact it was portraiture that was my beginning, I suppose. I have always been a very keen walker, though, and I often took a camera with me on my walks. But I was, and still am, an avid reader and so when I first started I chose to photograph many of the great writers in this country to try and earn a living Picture Quote #1

If you can show something as complicated as two people falling in love with just music and camera angles, well, just think about what you can do with football Picture Quote #1

The camera’s not a camera, really. It’s an open door we need to walk through. It’s up to us to keep moving our feet Picture Quote #1

It’s just a matter of who you are and how you talk to people. Your subjects will trust you only if you’re confident about what you’re doing. It really bothers me when photographers first approach a subject without a camera, try to establish a personal relationship, and only then get out their cameras. It’s deceptive. I think you should just show up with a camera, to make your intentions clear. People will either accept you or they won’t Picture Quote #1

The function of camera movement is to assist the storytelling. That’s all it is. It cannot be there just to demonstrate itself Picture Quote #1

When I was young and it was someone’s birthday, I didn’t have the money to buy nice presents so I would take my mom’s camera and make a movie parody for whoever’s birthday it was. When I’d show it them, they’d die laughing. That reaction was a high for me, and I loved that feeling Picture Quote #1

One time I told this lady to give me all her money, she said no. So I cut her and pulled her eyes out. I would do someone in and then take a camera and set the timer so I could sit them up next to me and take our picture together Picture Quote #1

It’s disgusting. Why would people idolize someone who doesn’t do anything and saying you’re a model/photographer with a digital camera and photoshop does not count as an artist Picture Quote #1

I am certain that if I have any merit, it is knowing how to make good use of my eyes, to guide the camera in its task of capturing not only colors, lights and shadows, but the movement of life itself Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to be in front of the camera forever. I’m not thirsty. I’m not a pop star. I don’t want to reign over all forever. I don’t want to be famous! It makes me feel sick, the thought of being a famous person. It’s just not me. I’m the happiest when I’m in the studio, not on a beauty parade Picture Quote #1

I use photography as a way to help me understand why I am here. The camera helps me to see Picture Quote #1

Skills are never taught, they are acquired. I can give you a camera, but can’t feed your vision Picture Quote #1

My aim in photography is always to convey a mood and not to impart local information. This is not an easy matter, for the camera if left to its own devices will simply impart local information to the exclusiveness of everything else Picture Quote #1

I do films to be behind the camera, not in front of the camera. I’m sure I say very intimate things about myself in all my films, but it’s better to say it not too directly, to be hidden behind a woman Picture Quote #1

When you are a photographer, you work all the time, because your eye is the first camera Picture Quote #1

What some highbrows call rapport is nothing more than a mild flirtation between photographer and the girl on the other side of the camera. Some models get so professional they can send hours flirting with the camera itself while the poor photographer is reduced to the role of spectator Picture Quote #1

To live, to experience the world, to communicate with a camera, all these are interrelated and cannot be separated from everyday live Picture Quote #1

When I look at pictures I have made, I have forgotten what I saw in front of the camera and respond only to what I am seeing in the photographs Picture Quote #1

The only thing that gets in the way of a really good photograph, is the camera Picture Quote #1

There’s a kind of power thing about the camera. I mean everyone knows you’ve got some edge. You’re carrying some magic which does something to them. It fixes them in a way Picture Quote #1

I always thought acting was all lights, camera, action. It’s a job; you have to do your job correctly Picture Quote #1

The camera is more than a recorder, it’s a microscope. It penetrates, it goes into people and you see their most private and concealed thoughts Picture Quote #1

The trick to being a good actor is getting so involved in your character that the camera disappears, the 50 bored guys eating doughnuts disappear, friends disappear. To get to that point when you don’t have to think about it, you’re just acting and reacting in those circumstances Picture Quote #1

I discovered that this camera was the technical means in photography of communicating what the world looks like in a state of heightened awareness. And it’s that awareness of really looking at the everyday world with clear and focused attention that I’m interested in Picture Quote #1

The camera is an extension of yourself... Your story treatment may be subjective, but it is important to remain objective as to truth Picture Quote #1

You have to be able to observe life as if you were a camera all the time, constantly looking at light and the way that things are placed and the way people hold themselves. You need the ability to see something in someone or something that no one else really sees and be able to bring that to light. Basically, you have to be an obsessive crazy person Picture Quote #1

I never said the camera was truth. It is, however, a more accurate and more objective way of seeing Picture Quote #1

I suffered first as a child from discrimination, poverty... So I think it was a natural follow from that that I should use my camera to speak for people who are unable to speak for themselves Picture Quote #1
