More quotes by Jay Maisel
Forget what it was. Look at what it is.
Jay Maisel
You must be open to what otherwise may seem to be a detriment to your 'plans'.
Jay Maisel
There is no one solution to all problems. It's the problem itself that can lead to the solution.
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.
Jay Maisel
If you're not shooting in the right direction, it doesn't matter how well you're shooting.
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
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
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
I want to go out as unprepared as possible so I can get filled up with what the world has to offer.
Jay Maisel
Each picture you take has power as long as it brings experience to the person who’s looking at it.
Jay Maisel
Keep your mind open. You may very well learn something new about yourself and your pictures.
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
Gesture will survive whatever kind of light you have. Gesture can triumph over anything because of its narrative content.
Jay Maisel
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.
Jay Maisel
Never say you're going back - SHOOT IT NOW!
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
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.
Jay Maisel
Failing is not a problem. Not trying is a problem.
Jay Maisel
If you don't have a camera, the best thing you can do is describe how great it looked.
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.
