Had I not been told to look, I would have quite, ignorant of what was really there, because I had 'made plans' and was wearing visual and emotional blinders that limited my perceptions and my vision.

More quotes by Jay Maisel
Failing is not a problem. Not trying is a problem.
Jay Maisel
You have to learn not only from your failures. You must also learn from your successes.
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 are rules about perception, but not about photography.
Jay Maisel
There is no one solution to all problems. It's the problem itself that can lead to the solution.
Jay Maisel
You sort of have to be always aware, even when you're not thinking of shooting. That's when the best stuff happens.
Jay Maisel
Never say you're going back - SHOOT IT NOW!
Jay Maisel
Be aware of every square millimeter of your frame.
Jay Maisel
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
Gesture will survive whatever kind of light you have. Gesture can triumph over anything because of its narrative content.
Jay Maisel
It's not just when you shoot, or what you shot, or where you shoot, it's the combination of the three.
Jay Maisel
Some have said that if you take a great picture in color and take away the color, you'll have a great black-and-white picture. But if you're shooting something about color and you take away the color, you'll have nothing.
Jay Maisel
I take pictures, and they are there for the taking. I'll tell you a quote that I have always thought about. Arthur Miller said, I try to create the poem from the evidence.
Jay Maisel
As people, we love pattern. But interrupted pattern is more interesting.
Jay Maisel
I'm a New Yorker. I don't believe in air unless I can see it.
Jay Maisel
The best camera is the one you have with you.
Jay Maisel
Since the background is as important as the subject, you mustn't let it default by chance. You must control not only vertical and horizontal, you must be aware of the depth of field (or lack of it) that you want in the background.
Jay Maisel
When you shoot, that is opportunity number one to make a statement. When you edit, you have opportunity number two to make your statement. It could be an affirmation of your first choice or could go off in another direction.
Jay Maisel
The pictures are everywhere. If you're open, they will find you.
Jay Maisel
Money and fame that photography can bring you are wonderful, but nothing can compare to the joy of seeing something new.
