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
I don't see light as something that falls, but as a positive force.
Jay Maisel
The best camera is the one you have with you.
Jay Maisel
If you want to make more interesting pictures, become a more interesting person.

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
When we are given gifts, we must be quick and able to accept them.
Jay Maisel
I love when pictures ask questions or make others ask questions.
Jay Maisel
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
You can't just turn on when something happens, you have to be turned on all the time. Then things happen.
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
If you can capture the element of surprise, you're way ahead of the game.
Jay Maisel
You cannot accurately remember color.
Jay Maisel
Gesture is not always action.
Jay Maisel
There are rules about perception, but not about photography.
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
Try to go out empty and let your images fill you up.
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
It's not just when you shoot, or what you shot, or where you shoot, it's the combination of the three.
Jay Maisel
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.
