Jay Maisel
Image
We don't experience light, color, and gesture in a vacuum. We experience it in contexts.
Jay Maisel
Image
You have to learn not only from your failures. You must also learn from your successes.
Jay Maisel
Image
There are rules about perception, but not about photography.
Jay Maisel

Jay Maisel
Image
Be aware of every square millimeter of your frame.
Jay Maisel
Image
You can't just turn on when something happens, you have to be turned on all the time. Then things happen.
Jay Maisel
Image
You have to have a lot of 'overage' so that your failures aren't the only thing you come home with. You've got to have a lot of things that were magnificent failures, but you want some magnificent successes.
