More quotes by Elliott Erwitt
I see no difference between my pictures that people consider amusing and the rest. To me, it's all serious work - they're just a reaction to what I see. I don't leave this apartment in the morning and say to myself 'Today I'm going to be funny and tomorrow I'm going to be sad.'
Elliott Erwitt
If you keep your cool, you'll get everything.
Elliott Erwitt
You can find pictures anywhere. It's simply a matter of noticing things and organizing them.
Elliott Erwitt
The main thing is to study pictures and stop listening to the pontifictaions of photographers. Photographers aren't oracles of wisdom. If they're good photographers, then take a good look at their pictures - what else do you need?
Elliott Erwitt
You don't study photography. You do it.
Elliott Erwitt
I like things that have to do with what is real, elegant, well presented and without excessive style. In other words, just fine observation.
Elliott Erwitt
It's about time we started to take photography seriously and treat it as a hobby.
Elliott Erwitt
There's no great mystique to photography. A lot of photographers like to put their hands up to their forehead and tell you how they've suffered and so forth. Well, I just rent a car and drive to the place and take the pictures.
Elliott Erwitt
A picture should be looked at - not talked about.
Elliott Erwitt
Now very often events are set up for photographers... The weddings are orchestrated about the photographers taking the picture, because if it hasn't been photographed it doesn't really exist.
Elliott Erwitt
I've been around so long, most editors think I'm dead.
Elliott Erwitt
I enjoy nothing more than spending time with my loved ones, young and old, and at least once a year we get together for a formal family photograph.
Elliott Erwitt
As a professional photographer I take photographs for other people to see - but I want them to see what I see. So I never assume that only a few people will appreciate what I do. At all times, the public should be able to understand what I've done, even if they don't understand how I've done it.
Elliott Erwitt
I am serious about not being serious.
Elliott Erwitt
Photography is pretty simple stuff. You just react to what you see, and take many, many pictures.
Elliott Erwitt
You must have a visual sense if you want to be a photographer. It is a very subtle thing, this visual business.
Elliott Erwitt
Balance of light is the problem, not the amount. Balance between shadows and highlights determines where the emphasis goes in the picture...make sure the major light in a picture falls at right angles to the camera.
Elliott Erwitt
Nothing happens when you sit at home. I always make it a point to carry a camera with me at all times...I just shoot at what interests me at that moment.
Elliott Erwitt
Somehow Photoshop and the ease with which one can produce an image has degraded the quality of photography in general.
Elliott Erwitt
When I get up in the morning I brush my teeth and go about my business, and if I am going anywhere interesting I take my camera along.
