If you are out there shooting, things will happen for you. If you're not out there, you'll only hear about it.
Jay Maisel
Image
Remember that most people (those who are not photographers) don't even see the things that you missed. Many don't even look. Ergo, you are way ahead of the game.

Image
Never say you're going back - SHOOT IT NOW!
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.

Image
The best camera is the one you have with you.
Jay Maisel
Image
Sometimes as you work, you find that you are learning things about your own perceptions and motivations that are way below you consciousness. If you get lucky, you recognize what you are doing, but all too often we don't find the connection between our work and our own motivations.

Color really doesn't have interaction if it's full of colors. It's the interaction or relationship among or between colors that makes a color image. This usually happens with a few colors, not a glut of them.
Jay Maisel
Image
We don't experience light, color, and gesture in a vacuum. We experience it in contexts.
Jay Maisel
Image
I'm a New Yorker. I don't believe in air unless I can see it.
Jay Maisel
Image
Every picture should have a place you can go, a home, a climax.
Jay Maisel
Image
Gesture is not always action.
Jay Maisel
Image
Color is seductive. It changes as it interacts with other colors, it changes because of the light falling upon it, and it changes as it becomes larger in size.
Jay Maisel
Image
Keep your mind open. You may very well learn something new about yourself and your pictures.
Jay Maisel
Image
The pictures are everywhere. If you're open, they will find you.
Jay Maisel
Image
The awareness of the quality of space in out photos is akin to our awareness of the very air in our photos, the atmosphere that pervades every square inch of our image and yet is often invisible to the photographer.
Jay Maisel
Image
There really isn't anything that you could call 'bad' color. It all has to do with the amount of color you use and in what context it appears.
Jay Maisel
Image
One color alone means nothing. I acts as in a vacuum, with no other colors to relate to. It is only when colors relate to other colors that the fun begins.
Jay Maisel
Image
All these factors are only valuable if you're curious. But in any case, the more knowledge you have, the more things are open and available to you.
Jay Maisel
Image
The drama of light exists not only in what is in the light, but also in what is left dark. If the light is everywhere, the drama is gone.

If you can capture the element of surprise, you're way ahead of the game.
