Photography Quotes

I’ve enjoyed photography, ever since I was a teenager, and I’m still at it. I’ve had shows in various cities, around the country, and I have a number of pieces in permanent collections in museums that I’m very proud of Picture Quote #1

I accept that all photography is voyeuristic and exploitative, and obviously I live with my own guilt and conscience. It’s part of the test and I don’t have a problem with it Picture Quote #1

We are drowning in images. Photography is used as a propaganda tool, which serves to sell products and ideas. I use the same approach to show aspects of reality Picture Quote #1

A photo is like a map, a way of giving me a foot into a kind of reality I want... I’m not trying to make paintings look like photos. I want to make paintings using photos as a reference, the way painters did when photography was first invented Picture Quote #1

Photography today is so accurate and so good that it’s really so much easier just to take photographs and work from them Picture Quote #1

My paintings have an ongoing dialogue with photography. There are many painters who would say the same, I’m sure. The difference is that I’m thinking more about the temporal aspect of photography, rather than the visual Picture Quote #1

Photography is a source of raw materials as I believe the camera is never perfect and will never be able to express in full what I see and feel Picture Quote #1

Photography is nature seen from the eyes outwards. Painting is nature seen from the eyes inwards Picture Quote #1

Photography is a powerful medium of persuasion and propaganda. It has that ring of truth when all the time, in artful hands, it can make any statement the manipulator chooses Picture Quote #1

None of us works entirely in a vacuum. Unless you are uncompromisingly working to please yourself you must think to whom your photography is directed and how is it likely to be received Picture Quote #1

I have gradually confused photography and life and as a result of this I believe I am able to work out of myself at an almost precognitive level Picture Quote #1

All art is a vision penetrating the illusions of reality, and photography is one form of this vision and revelation Picture Quote #1

One of my passions is photography. I always carry a camera in my bag whenever I travel. I always take pictures wherever I go, and some of them end up being really crazy ones Picture Quote #1

I started out doing music videos and photography, and I always loved writing. Filmmaking seemed to be a good compilation of all these skills in a way that allowed me to tell a story greater than the sum of its parts Picture Quote #1

By furnishing this already crowded world with a duplicate one of images, photography makes us feel that the world is more available than it really is Picture Quote #1

The secret of photography is, the camera takes on the character and personality of the handler Picture Quote #1

I do note that photography, a despised medium to work in, is full of empty phonies and worthless commercial people. That presents quite a challenge to the man who can take delight in being in a very difficult, disdained medium Picture Quote #1

I say half jokingly that photography is the most difficult of the arts. It does require a certain arrogance to see and to choose. I feel myself walking on a tightrope instead of on the ground Picture Quote #1

Photography was the medium preeminently qualified to unite art with science. Photography was born in the years which ushered in the scientific age, an offspring of both science and art Picture Quote #1

Abstraction in photography is ridiculous, and is only an imitation of painting. We stopped imitating painters a hundred years ago, so to imitate them in this day and age is laughable Picture Quote #1

We don’t have enough words for photography. Can you imagine writers having only one word for writing? Picture Quote #1

I’m really very concerned with helping to create an attitude of freedom and daring toward the craft of photography Picture Quote #1

I often say I’ve spent more time with photography than I have with literature just in terms of hours Picture Quote #1

Photography is not only drawing with light, though light is the indispensable agent of its being. It is modeling or sculpturing with light, to reproduce the plastic form of natural objects. It is painting with light Picture Quote #1

Sometimes in news photography and so on, the pictures are a little bit dry, and put on the page and just set in a journalistic way in front of you Picture Quote #1

Great photography comes about at the right time but it also needs the right cut that enhances that precise moment... Photography must feed on both contents and form, if it gives up the one for the other it is not going to last Picture Quote #1

Art films aren’t necessarily photography. It’s feeling. If we can capture a feeling of a people, of a way of life, then we made a good picture Picture Quote #1

The thing that was most interesting to me was getting my first prints back from the printer and realizing photography doesn’t end with the click of a button, it starts there. Printing is so exciting Picture Quote #1

There are a lot of people who think celebrities shouldn’t complain, that the photography is just a price to pay for having this career. I guess that’s bizarre. What they don’t understand is that this is all stuff that’s really new Picture Quote #1

One of the difficulties of photography is that it is much better at being explicit than at being reticent Picture Quote #1
