It can happen anytime, anywhere. I mean, you don't have to be in front of stuff that's going to make a good photograph. It's possible anywhere.
Henry Wessel, Jr.
Image
There is something particularly fascinating about seeing places you know in a piece of art - be that in a film, or a photograph or painting.
Sara Sheridan
Image
I suspect it is for one's self-interest that one looks at one's surroundings and one's self. This search is personally born and is indeed my reason and motive for making photographs.
Lee Friedlander
Image
If you photograph for a long time, you get to understand such things as body language. I often do not look at people I photograph, especially afterwards. Also when I want a photo, I become somewhat fearless, and this helps a lot. There will always be someone who objects to being photographed, and when this happens you move on.
Martin Parr
Image
I don't pretend to make my photographs speak the truth of what Mexico is all about. But in its villages I can feel the way culture is changing, and it's fascinating to live through it and try to capture it on camera.
Graciela Iturbide
Image
The photograph is kind of a proof - a proof that I actually met these people, that they actually have lives, and that they're worth considering.
Jim Goldberg
Image
Robert was concerned with how to make the photograph, and I with how to be the photograph.
Patti Smith
Image
Language is a very complicated thing, and that's one of the reasons why I like making photographs.
Catherine Opie
Image
If I could find them (assemblages) in nature I would photograph them. I make them because through photography I have a knowledge of things that can't be found.
Frederick Sommer
Image
There are plenty of beautiful girls who don't photograph well.
Lauren Hutton
Image
I've always found paintings of nudes depressing because they can't compete with photographs. The grainiest photograph of some girl, a blurry Polaroid - you'd rather look at that than the Venus de Milo, because you think, Wow, that's really somebody... This camera really was in front of this real naked lady.
John Currin
Image
I received my training at an art academy, so what I produce is art. That's what is artistic about my photographs.
Thomas Ruff
Image
[The photographs] were there simply to indicate a radical art that had already vanished. The photograph was necessary only as a residue for communication.
Dennis Oppenheim
Image
Every day someone notices me and waves to me, or stops and speaks to me, or asks me for an autograph, or photographs me.
Quentin Crisp
Image
Beauty can be seen in all things, seeing and composing the beauty is what separates the snapshot from the photograph.
Matt Hardy
Image
Professional investment may be likened to those newspaper competitions in which the competitors have to pick out the six prettiest faces from a hundred photographs, the prize being awarded to the competitor whose choice most nearly corresponds to the average preferences of the competitors as a whole.
John Maynard Keynes
Image
The photograph is the most perfect picture. It does not change it is absolute, and therefore autonomous, unconditional, devoid of style. Both in its way of informing, and in what it informs of, it is my source.
Gerhard Richter
Image
Photographs should celebrate the contingent, the spontaneous, the incomplete, the fortuitous. Direct, unblinking vision should be coupled with deliberate indifference as to subject. The ironic goal is a scrupulous recording of whatever chance brings to hand.
Douglas McCulloh
Image
For me, one of the most important aspects of my work is to give people something to dream about, just as I used to dream all those years ago as a child looking at beautiful photographs. I still weave dreams, finding inspiration wherever I can and looking for romance in the real, not the digital, world
Grace Coddington
Image
As a professional photographer I take photographs for other people to see - but I want them to see what I see. So I never assume that only a few people will appreciate what I do. At all times, the public should be able to understand what I've done, even if they don't understand how I've done it.
Elliott Erwitt
Image
The past is always with us, in the form of our photographs, which we feel as we might a rosary, wearing them smooth with the fingering of our eyes.
A. D. Coleman
Image
The photographs of Iraqi prisoners being subjected to degrading and humiliating treatment by their captors, and the reports of acts of sexual abuse, physical abuse, and other acts of maltreatment shock the conscience.
Ed Markey
Image
The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.
Ansel Adams
Image
I just hope I remember to tell my kids that they are as happy as I look in my old photographs. And I hope that they believe me.
