Image
Gesture will survive whatever kind of light you have. Gesture can triumph over anything because of its narrative content.
Jay Maisel
Image
Failing is not a problem. Not trying is a problem.
Jay Maisel
Image
It's not just when you shoot, or what you shot, or where you shoot, it's the combination of the three.
Jay Maisel
Image
You cannot accurately remember color.
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
I don't see light as something that falls, but as a positive force.
Jay Maisel
Image
We don't experience light, color, and gesture in a vacuum. We experience it in contexts.
Jay Maisel
Image
You always end up with too many pictures to edit and too few that you feel 'got it'.

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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
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
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.

Be aware of every square millimeter of your frame.
