More quotes by Willy Ronis
I have never sought the unexpected, the novelty, the extraordinary, but rather what is most typical of our daily life... I go out to find people who resemble me, and the mirror which these images offer them is the same as that in which I see myself.
Willy Ronis
I never, ever went out without my camera, even to buy bread.
Willy Ronis
A fine image is geometry, modulated by the heart
Willy Ronis
I have never separated form and content. The photo should have a meaning. But my photos are also more or less well constructed. If they had false notes, they stayed on the contact sheet.
Willy Ronis
We do not see what is “real,” we see what we are.
Willy Ronis
A good picture knows how to communicate the emotion that created it.
Willy Ronis
I have never sought out the extraordinary or the scoop. I looked at what complemented my life. The beauty of the ordinary was always the source of my greatest emotions.
