Jay Maisel Quotes

You have to learn not only from your failures. You must also learn from your successes Picture Quote #1

You have to let the past successes go, or you’ll never be able to see anew Picture Quote #1

Don’t overthink things in front of you. I fit moves you, shoot it. If it’s fun, shoot it. If you’ve never seen it before, shoot it Picture Quote #1

All these factors are only valuable if you’re curious. But in any case, the more knowledge you have, the more things are open and available to you Picture Quote #1

You sort of have to be always aware, even when you’re not thinking of shooting. That’s when the best stuff happens Picture Quote #1

When you shoot, that is opportunity number one to make a statement. When you edit, you have opportunity number two to make your statement. It could be an affirmation of your first choice or could go off in another direction Picture Quote #1

Keep your mind open. You may very well learn something new about yourself and your pictures Picture Quote #1

You are responsible for every part of your image, even the parts you’re not interested in Picture Quote #1

You can’t just turn on when something happens, you have to be turned on all the time. Then things happen Picture Quote #1

Money and fame that photography can bring you are wonderful, but nothing can compare to the joy of seeing something new Picture Quote #1

You see shape, and how the light hits things, how the color changes from one end of the photo to the other, and how movement affects the mood of the photo Picture Quote #1

There is no one solution to all problems. It’s the problem itself that can lead to the solution Picture Quote #1

If you’re not shooting in the right direction, it doesn’t matter how well you’re shooting Picture Quote #1

First, perseverance trumps talent. Second, do what you want to do, otherwise why bother? Third, be ethical; it might rub off on others. Fourth, don’t give up Picture Quote #1

If you can capture the element of surprise, you’re way ahead of the game Picture Quote #1

Each picture you take has power as long as it brings experience to the person who’s looking at it Picture Quote #1

If you are out there shooting, things will happen for you. If you’re not out there, you’ll only hear about it Picture Quote #1

Gesture will survive whatever kind of light you have. Gesture can triumph over anything because of its narrative content Picture Quote #1

One color alone means nothing. I acts as in a vacuum, with no other colors to relate to. It is only when colors relate to other colors that the fun begins Picture Quote #1

Color is seductive. It changes as it interacts with other colors, it changes because of the light falling upon it, and it changes as it becomes larger in size Picture Quote #1

You find that you have to do many things, more than just lift up the camera and shoot, and so you get involved in it in a very physical way. You may find that the picture you want to do can only be made from a certain place, and you’re not there, so you have to physically go there. And that participation may spur you on to work harder on the thing,... because in the physical change of position you start seeing a whole different relationship Picture Quote #1

You must not think of yourself as looking at the stage from the audience. You must think of it as theatre in the round and look at it from all sides Picture Quote #1

We don’t experience light, color, and gesture in a vacuum. We experience it in contexts 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

It’s not just when you shoot, or what you shot, or where you shoot, it’s the combination of the three Picture Quote #1

The more light you have in an image, the less drama you get. The details start taking over; the mystery is all gone Picture Quote #1

A photographer’s art is more in his perceptions than his execution. In a painter, I think the perception is only the first step, and then you have a kind of hard road of execution Picture Quote #1

You will, in time, see and show others not just the superficial, but the details, the meanings, and the implications of all that you look at Picture Quote #1

Sometimes without shooting a picture germinates in your head. Other times, you keep taking pictures of the same thing and watch the images mature and grow Picture Quote #1
