Philippe Halsman Quotes

Most people stiffen with self-consciousness when they pose for a photograph. Lighting and fine camera equipment are useless if the photographer cannot make them drop the mask, at least for a moment, so he can capture on his film their real, undistorted personality and character Picture Quote #1

No photographer should be blamed when, instead of capturing reality, he tries to show things he has seen only in his imagination. Photography is the youngest art form. All attempts to enlarge its frontiers are important and should be encouraged Picture Quote #1

I am often asked which picture is my favorite. This is like asking a mother which child she likes the most Picture Quote #1

The head of the photographer is more important than his camera Picture Quote #1

A good portrait is incredibly hard to create, there is too much temptation to pander to the individual rather than portray them as they really were Picture Quote #1

When you ask a person to jump, his attention is mostly directed toward the act of jumping and the mask falls so that the real person appears 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

I drifted into photography like one drifts into prostitution. First I did it to please myself, then I did it to please my friends, and eventually I did it for the money Picture Quote #1

In my serious work I am striving for the essence of things and for goals which are possibly unobtainable. On the other hand, everything humorous has great attraction for me, and a childish streak leads me into all kinds of frivolous endeavour Picture Quote #1
