More quotes by Edward Weston
My own eyes are no more than scouts on a preliminary search, or the camera's eye may entirely change my idea.
Edward Weston
...the pepper is beginning to show signs of strain, and tonight should grace a salad. It has been suggested that I am a cannibal to eat my models.
Edward Weston
To see the Thing itself is essential: the quintessence revealed direct without the fog of impressionism... This then: to photograph a rock, have it look like a rock, but be more than a rock. Significant presentation - not interpretation.
Edward Weston
It seems so utterly naive that landscape - not that of the pictorial school - is not considered of social significance when it has a far more important bearing on the human race of a given locale than excrescences called cities.
Edward Weston
Ultimately success or failure in photographing people depends on the photographer's ability to understand his fellow man.
Edward Weston
I see my finished platinum print (in the viewfinder) in all its desired qualities, before my exposure.
Edward Weston
To compose a subject well means no more than to see and present it in the strongest manner possible.
Edward Weston
The great scientist dares to differ from accepted 'facts' - think irrationally - let the artist do likewise.
Edward Weston
......so called “composition” becomes a personal thing, to be developed along with technique, as a personal way of seeing.
Edward Weston
The camera sees more than the eye, so why not make use of it?
Edward Weston
Is love like art - something always ahead, never quite attained.
Edward Weston
I want the stark beauty that a lens can so exactly render presented without interference of artistic effect.
Edward Weston
Photography to the amateur is recreation, to the professional it is work, and hard work too, no matter how pleasurable it my be.
Edward Weston
For the obvious reason that nature - unadulterated and unimproved by man - is simply chaos. In fact, the camera proves that nature is crude and lacking in arrangement.
Edward Weston
When a photographer masters the tools and processes of the art, then the quality of the work is only limited by his creative vision.
Edward Weston
An excellent conception can be quite obscured by faulty technical execution or clarified by faultless technique.
Edward Weston
Photography suits the temper of this age - of active bodies and minds. It is a perfect medium for one whose mind is teeming with ideas, imagery, for a prolific worker who would be slowed down by painting or sculpting, for one who sees quickly and acts decisively, accurately.
Edward Weston
Now, to consult the rules of composition before making a picture is a little like consulting the law of gravity before going for a walk.
Edward Weston
I don't care if you make a print on a bath mat, just as long as it is a good print.
Edward Weston
The painters have no copyright on modern art!... I believe in, and make no apologies for, photography: it is the most important graphic medium of our day. It does not have to be, indeed cannot be - compared to painting - it has different means and aims.
Edward Weston
