Photography Quotes

Things happen in front of you. That’s perhaps the most wonderful and mysterious aspect of photography Picture Quote #1

Life is like photography. Focus on what is important and you will capture it perfectly Picture Quote #1

I had a love for photography, which of course rolled into cinematography Picture Quote #1

For me the printing process is part of the magic of photography. It’s that magic that can be exciting, disappointing, rewarding and frustrating all in the same few moments in the darkroom Picture Quote #1

By stealthily teaching dependence, photography can turn out to be dangerous Picture Quote #1

Essentially, in photography, I think on two levels: one emotional and the other technical. The emotional impact has to do with looking for something dramatic happening in the photograph, something that reaches out and touches somebody in some way. And the technical is having to do with composition and framing - light and dark, light and shadow Picture Quote #1

As in any person’s life, there have been difficult moments: I have a son with Down’s syndrome; through my photography, I have witnessed all manner of human degradation. But there have also been very happy moments Picture Quote #1

The very act of representation has been so thoroughly challenged in recent years by postmodern theories that it is impossible not to see the flaws everywhere, in any practice of photography. Traditional genres in particular-journalism, documentary studies, and fine-art photography-have become shells, or forms emptied of meaning Picture Quote #1

I suddenly understood that photography can fix eternity in a moment. It is the only photo that influenced me. There is such intensity in this image, such spontaneity, such joie de vivre, such miraculousness, that even today it still bowls me over Picture Quote #1

My programme, The Art of Creative Expression, empowers young people with tools to express themselves. We teach photography, art and drama, but it’s not just the medium that’s important, it’s about what you are trying to say Picture Quote #1

A reader, encountering a sentence about a barking dog, would have to dwell on why that choice was made at that moment. Everything in a novel is explicitly chosen, whereas some of what a film captures feels incidental, according to the vagaries of photography and sound recording Picture Quote #1

For me, going back to itinerant landscape painting, it’s not about returning to an older method, but about building on what happened in the 20th century in photography. And also highlighting what the differences are between a painting and a photograph in picturing space Picture Quote #1

Computer enhancement has spread to still photography in advertisements, fashion pictorials, and magazine covers, where the human figure and face are subtly elongated or remodeled at will. Caricature is our ruling mode Picture Quote #1

[My photography teacher] gave me the Mexican Day Books of Edward Weston and just blew me away with this work. The fact that you could be this fabulous visual artist, with all this milieu of people like Diego Rivera and you could sleep with these gorgeous, amazing women, that you could live that life - that photography could deliver you that life Picture Quote #1

Photography is a life of learning. That’s all I want from photography. I don’t want the money. I don’t need the fame. I don’t need the admiration. I’d like all of those things, but I don’t need them. Because what I get from photographing is learning. I have spent my life learning by looking through a lens Picture Quote #1

In fact, I probably learned more about photography from studying black-and-white photography in those magazines [Look Magazine and LIFE Magazine] than I did from watching movies here. That’s the truth Picture Quote #1

I’m always worried about the sitter - are they cold, are they hot, are they comfortable? 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

I try to use photography to move people to action to save the wildlife in our beloved ocean Picture Quote #1

I believe photography is about choosing to live, being brave. Looking is an act of courage. It’s terrifying. It’s possible to see too much, to witness things that we cannot hold Picture Quote #1

By making pictures, you learn the many different properties of photography. I use those properties differently than, say, an advertising agency would, but we’re both operating in the same reality. A face painted by Picasso occupies the same reality as a portrait by Stieglitz Picture Quote #1

Beauty is everywhere. And my photography came naturally without any particular inspirations growing up Picture Quote #1

I don’t know how to say easily what I learned. One thing I can say I learned is how amazing photography could be Picture Quote #1

I just directed another picture called ‘American Dream’ with Nick Stahl. Just finished shooting principal photography right before I started [‘Lincoln’] Picture Quote #1

Right before ‘American Dreams,’ I started to pursue these avenues, like short films and getting into a couple night courses to really study photography and cinematography, and the language of visual storytelling Picture Quote #1

My introduction to photography and a lot of how I developed aesthetically was through 50s and early- 60s fashion magazines like Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue Picture Quote #1

I would like to do all kinds of things: photography and art and designing; I want to help do charity things for animals and things like that Picture Quote #1

Nothing seemed to me more appropriate than to project an image of our time with absolute fidelity to nature by means of photography Picture Quote #1

I have people working together, doing different things: architecture, art installation, photography, publishing, and curatorial works and design Picture Quote #1

Only in black and white can I see the design and textures. I don’t consider color photography art. Black and white is an interpretation. Color is a duplication Picture Quote #1

I’d love to go off to college to study photography, art history, humanities Picture Quote #1
