Jay Maisel
If you're not shooting in the right direction, it doesn't matter how well you're shooting.
Jay Maisel
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
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
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
There is no bad light. There is spectacular light and difficult light. It's up to you to use the light you have.
Jay Maisel
Gesture is not always action.
Jay Maisel
The best camera is the one you have with you.
