Body language is so important, as is composition. You can not say something, and then the body reacts, and it says a lot of things dialogue can also say.

More quotes by Anton Corbijn
I don’t crop my images and I always shoot handheld. By doing that I build in a kind of imperfection and this helps to emphasize reality.
Anton Corbijn
I don't have lights, I don't have assistants, I just go and meet somebody and take a photograph. That's really basic, and that's how I used to work when I was 17 or 18 in Holland.
Anton Corbijn
My photography is very European. In America, I always get the sense that people are comforted by understanding what they're looking at. Photography's quite clear here [in the U.S.], it's very well-explained. My photography's perhaps not as well-explained.
Anton Corbijn
I've gotten used to not looking too far into the future it's best when you can begin each day anew.
Anton Corbijn
Photography has taken me from isolation.
Anton Corbijn
Photography was the only thing that mattered in my life and I gave it everything.
Anton Corbijn
I'm a very, very basic photographer. The main strength of my pictures, I guess, is the mood and feel I get out of the people that I meet. But technically I don't think I'm very advanced. That never interested me.
Anton Corbijn
For me N.M.E. was a very big thing. When I first came to the United Kingdom I started taking pictures for them and I became their main photographer for five years, and that's really been the basis of everything I've been doing since.
Anton Corbijn
There's only one music video that had an emotional impact on me, and that's Hurt by Johnny Cash. That's exceptional. There is no music video I can think of apart from that one that really reaches you inside.
Anton Corbijn
I have such a love of good music that I find even melancholic music uplifting. Maybe I'm a rare breed.
Anton Corbijn
Like stories, people have individual lives, and are all caught up in this murky thing. All of them have the best intentions. In that sense, you could just as easily tell the same story from another character's perspective. Maybe that's a good idea for a TV series.
Anton Corbijn
There's a lot about records that you cannot feel from a CD.
Anton Corbijn
I feel that when I shoot anything, and I have something beautiful, I just move on.
Anton Corbijn
I don't think I treat my film work as an extension of my photography. There are two different sets of rules there.
Anton Corbijn
The really simple approach to photography is a great balance to making the films.
Anton Corbijn
It's only when people get involved, when there's money involved, that you have a lot opinions around you. I try not to listen to them too much.
Anton Corbijn
By self-analysis you can not change your character, but you may change your mentality.
Anton Corbijn
I've done an incredible amount of painters. It's an area, for me, where there's more mystery left. I've photographed so many musicians, I've been in studios so often, I know the whole process. The mystery's gone from it. I think it's important to keep mystery into our lives. There's a longing connected with it.
Anton Corbijn
I work using the Brian Eno school of thinking: limit your tools, focus on one thing and just make it work… You become very inventive with the restrictions you give yourself.
Anton Corbijn
I come unprepared to shooting. I don't have lights, I don't have assistants, I just go and meet somebody and take a photograph. That's really basic, and that's how I used to work when I was 17 or 18 in Holland. I was given very little time to photograph people and I was very scared.
Anton Corbijn
