More quotes by Diane Arbus
One thing that struck me early is that you don’t put into a photograph what’s going to come out. Or, vice versa, what comes out is not what you put in.
Diane Arbus
There are an awful lot of people in the world and it's going to be terribly hard to photograph all of them... It was my teacher Lisette Model who finally made it clear to me that the more specific you are, the more general it will be.
Diane Arbus
It's important to take bad pictures. It's the bad ones that have to do with what you've never done before. They can make you recognize something you hadn't seen in a way that will make you recognize it when you see it again.
Diane Arbus
Photography was a license to go wherever I wanted and to do what I wanted to do.
Diane Arbus
Freaks was a thing I photographed a lot. It was one of the first things I photographed and it had a terrific kind of excitement for me. I just used to adore them. I still do adore some of them. I don't quite mean they're my best friends but they made me feel a mixture of shame and awe.
Diane Arbus
If I didn't have a camera, the things I do would be crazy.
Diane Arbus
Take pictures of what you fear.
Diane Arbus
The condition of photographing is maybe the condition of being on the brink of conversion to anything.
Diane Arbus
The camera is a kind of license.
Diane Arbus
You see someone on the street, and essentially what you notice about them is the flaw.
Diane Arbus
We stand on a precipice, then before a chasm, and as we wait it becomes higher, wider, deeper, but I am crazy enough to think it doesn't matter which way we leap because when we leap we will have learned to fly. Is that blasphemy or faith?
Diane Arbus
One of the risks of appearing in public is the likelihood of being photographed.
Diane Arbus
Taking pictures is like tiptoeing into the kitchen late at night and stealing Oreo cookies.
Diane Arbus
The camera is cruel, so I try to be as good as I can to make things even.
Diane Arbus
I never have taken a picture I've intended. They're always better or worse.
Diane Arbus
I always thought of photography as a naughty thing to do - that was one of my favorite things about it, and when I first did it, I felt very perverse.
Diane Arbus
For me, the subject of the picture is always more important than the picture.
Diane Arbus
There's a quality of legend about freaks. Like a person in a fairy tale who stops you and demands that you answer a riddle.
Diane Arbus
The thing that's important to know is that you never know. You're always sort of feeling your way.
Diane Arbus
I work from awkwardness. By that I mean I don't like to arrange things. If I stand in front of something, instead of arranging it, I arrange myself.
