A lot of photographers think that if they buy a better camera they'll be able to take better photographs. A better camera won't do a thing for you if you don't have anything in your head or in your heart.

More quotes by Arnold Newman
I am convinced that any photographic attempt to show the complete man is nonsense. We can only show, as best we can, what the outer man reveals. The inner man is seldom revealed to anyone, sometimes not even the man himself.
Arnold Newman
There are no rules and regulations for perfect composition. If there were we would be able to put all the information into a computer and would come out with a masterpiece. We know that's impossible. You have to compose by the seat of your pants.
Arnold Newman
I often wonder whether I would have done as well in painting.
Arnold Newman
I didn't set out to do something different so much as do something that interested me. I wasn't trying to be avant-garde - that's being fashionable. You don't set out to revolutionize art, you make statements for yourself.
Arnold Newman
Visual ideas combined with technology combined with personal interpretation equals photography. Each must hold it's own if it doesn't, the thing collapses.
Arnold Newman
Photography is 1% talent and 99% moving furniture.
Arnold Newman
I don't care what you do with that negative, you can retouch it, you can spit on it, you can grind it underfoot. The only thing that matters is if it is honest. If [the picture] is honest, you and everybody can tell. If it is dishonest, you and everybody can tell.
Arnold Newman
Ideas visuales combinadas con tecnología e interpretación personal es igual a fotografía
Arnold Newman
Photography, as we all know, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world.
Arnold Newman
The camera is a mirror with a memory, but it cannot think.
Arnold Newman
