Upgrade your user, not your product. Value is less about the stuff and more about the stuff the stuff enables. Don’t build better cameras - build better photographers Picture Quote #1

A close friend of mine, Annie Leibovitz, who I’ve known for forty years, photographs celebrities every single day of the week but they all seem to look the same even though she’s one of the most creative photographers alive. They all just look the same. Brad Pitt is a great actor but all the pictures of Brad Pitt look the same Picture Quote #1

I do feel that I’m talking to someone who’s in a totally different place from where I was when I started modeling.

So that gap has broadened a bit Picture Quote #1

The thing I loved the most about being art director was picking the photographers and working with them Picture Quote #1

I love photography and I love the art of photography. So when I’m working with high-level art photographers, I give them artistic freedom because I want that for myself when it’s my turn to do my work and I never try and control it or say I’ll only do this or I want it like that Picture Quote #1

Photographers are artists, they capture and bring emotion in the motions of life Picture Quote #1

My mountaineering skills are not important to my best photographs, but they do add a component to my work that is definitely a bit different than that of most photographers Picture Quote #1

Conflict photographers grapple with two worlds that are themselves often in conflict - the one where bombs fall and bullets fly, where adrenaline runs high, and the other, back home, which is comparatively secure, and where the big event of the day may involve selecting swatches of fabric for a new sofa Picture Quote #1

A lot of photographers like models to be blank canvases - but bland girls don’t influence me. I don’t like playing with dolls; I like playing with people Picture Quote #1

Today, the paparazzi are not just photographers: everyone has a cell phone with a camera. If they see an actor, they click pictures to show it to their friends or have it on their phones and, as an actor, I don’t see anything wrong with it. Having said that, there is a limit that has been crossed, but there is nothing right or wrong Picture Quote #1

I take my camera to shoots and ask all the photographers and assistants to show me what to do with it 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

Photographers represented occasions once. You dressed for them as you might for church; they cost money, they recorded important moments Picture Quote #1

There’s people outside our house; you get followed by photographers; you can’t go out and have a cup of coffee with a friend without someone coming up to you Picture Quote #1

I’ve never, ever in my life touched a photographer. Some of the cruellest things I’ve ever said have been to photographers who are chasing me down the street, some of the sharpest, most efficient emotional barbs. And they know that in that moment, in that one-to-one wit competition, they just got smashed Picture Quote #1

The [concentration camps] were swarming with photographers and every new picture of horror served only to diminish the total effect. Now, for a short day, everyone will see what happened to those poor devils in those camps; tomorrow, very few will care what happens to them in the future Picture Quote #1

A lot of people have done that over the years. Many of the agencies today were started by photographers. It’s a normal progression. It wasn’t some crazy idea, it was just, Can we start our own agency? Can we do this? Picture Quote #1
