Photographer Quotes

Twitter makes you a comedian in the same way that digital cameras make you a photographer Picture Quote #1

A photographer is an acrobat treading the high wire of chance, trying to capture shooting stars Picture Quote #1

Forget about the profession of being a photographer. First be a photographer and maybe the profession will come after Picture Quote #1

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

Truth for anyone is a very complex thing. For a writer, what you leave out says as much as those things you include. What lies beyond the margin of the text? The photographer frames the shot; writers frame their world 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

The only things that distinguish the photographer from everybody else are his pictures: they alone are the basis for our special interest in him. If pictures cannot be understood without knowing details of the artist’s private life, then that is a reason for faulting them; major art, by definition, can stand independent of its maker Picture Quote #1

To chart a course, one must have a direction. In reality, the eye is no better than the philosophy behind it. The photographer creates, evolves a better, a more selective, more acute seeing eye by looking ever more sharply at what is going on in the world Picture Quote #1

The creative life of the commercial photographer is like the life of a butterfly. Very seldom do we see a photographer who is really productive for more than eight or ten years Picture Quote #1

I realize more and more what it takes to be a really good photographer. You go in over your head, not just up to your neck Picture Quote #1

I like to look at pictures, all kinds. And all those things you absorb come out subconsciously one way or another. You’ll be taking photographs and suddenly know that you have resources from having looked at a lot of them before. There is no way you can avoid this. But this kind of subconscious influence is good, and it certainly can work for one. In fact, the more pictures you see, the better you are as a photographer Picture Quote #1

To be a photographer, one must photograph. No amount of book learning, no checklist of seminars attended, can substitute for the simple act of making pictures Picture Quote #1

The photographer’s vision convinces us to the degree that the photographer hides his hand Picture Quote #1

The language that photography has is a formal language. Any photographer is doing something formal. If it’s formal, then it must be an aesthetic way to communicate Picture Quote #1

I’m not a serious photographer like many of my contemporaries. That is to say, I am serious about not being serious Picture Quote #1

If you’re not a curious person, you’re certainly not going to be a good photographer Picture Quote #1

The photographer is the contemporary being par excellence; through his eyes the now becomes the past Picture Quote #1

I became a photographer in order to be a war photographer, and a photographer involved in what I thought were critical social issues. From the very beginning this was my goal Picture Quote #1

I’ve noticed that the people who started on film still have the ability to see the person in front of them. Whereas for a lot of photographers who have only ever worked in digital, the relationship between the photographer and the person who they’re taking a picture of sort of doesn’t exist anymore. They’re looking at a computer screen as opposed to the person Picture Quote #1

Every successful photograph, except for lucky shots, begins with an idea and a plan. The more precisely a photographer knows what it is he wishes to do, the better the chances are that he will do it Picture Quote #1

Light is the photographic medium par excellence; it is to the photographer what words are to the writer; color and paint to the painter; wood, metal, stone, or clay to the sculptor Picture Quote #1

I am not used to doing naked shoots but when you trust the photographer and the crew, you know it won’t be vulgar Picture Quote #1

I have been a photographer all my life... and have made photographs of many things and for many reasons. But one thing that becomes more and more apparent is that I am simply only as good as my next photograph. That’s the one that counts the most... For this reason I find it a delight to face a new day, and to develop that new roll of film. It’s a great way to live Picture Quote #1

Photography is like a found object. A photographer never makes an actual subject; they just steal the image from the world... Photography is a system of saving memories. It’s a time machine, in a way, to preserve the memory, to preserve time Picture Quote #1

The worst thing is to feel that as a photographer I’m benefiting from someone else’s tragedy. This idea haunts me. It’s something I have to reckon with every day, because I know that if I ever allow genuine compassion to be overtaken by personal ambition, I will have sold my soul. The only way I can justify my role is to have respect for the other person’s predicament. The extent to which I do that is the extent to which I become accepted by the other and to that extent I can accept myself Picture Quote #1

The photographer has almost as much control over his subject matter as a painter. He can control light and shade, form and space, pattern and texture, motion and mood, everything except composition Picture Quote #1

The reason I call myself a documentary photographer is the idea of how photographs contain and participate in history Picture Quote #1

You have to focus on what you are doing, not just as a photographer, but as a human being Picture Quote #1

A person cannot learn to be a photographer. He can only cultivate what he already has. I try to make people aware that they have something very precious to cultivate Picture Quote #1

Fall in love. Every day. With everything. With life. If you can fall in love, you can be a photographer. I think that is absolutely essential Picture Quote #1
