To make good photographs, to express something, to contribute something to the world he lives in, and to contribute something to the art of photography besides imitations of the best photographers on the market today, that is basic training, the understanding of self.
Edward Steichen
Image
I'm pretty lenient with myself about time - if I feel like taking photographs of small things inside ice cubes or making animal collages, I just do it. When I want to write, I write. It's all part of the same thing for me.
Matthea Harvey
Image
It's marvelous, marvelous! Nothing will ever be as much fun. I'm going to photograph everything, everything!
Jacques-Henri Lartigue
Image
With chemical film, it was possible to alter photographs, but you had to be an expert. That's not true any more. The LA Times fired a photographer at the beginning of the Iraq War for editing two shots together. Photography is crumbling. Certainly it is for the newspapers a bit now, isn't it? There will be painting again, absolutely!
David Hockney
Image
[Making movies] you're not trying to capture reality, you're trying to capture a photograph of reality.
Stanley Kubrick
Image
My photographs are not just about the instant of movement you capture in the camera. It's much more total, about constant movement that became static.
Gabriel Orozco
Image
... photographs are so loaded with information. They're remarkable. As I said, you get both the tree and the forest.
Lee Friedlander
Image
I want my photos to be fresh and urgent. A good photograph should be a call to arms.
Terry Richardson
Image
In the Soviet Union it was illegal to take a photograph of a train station. Look what happened to them. They tried to classify everything.
Tom Clancy
Image
It takes a while for a photograph to mature. That sounds really pretentious, but it takes a time for it to go from here to there.
Harry Benson
Image
I don't look for things to see how they function as metaphors.... You can't photograph the sublime. You can only traffic in the specific and its relationship to the symbolic.
John Divola
Image
I think life is too short not to be doing something which you really believe in. Whether you're photographing for yourself, for your job, whether you photograph on the weekends or everyday or once in a while, the main point is having fun and to be exercising your curiosity and to be really in love with what you are doing.
Steve McCurry
Image
I was giving a lecture and I said, that's enough about The Photographic Life, meaning my biography, now let's talk about the life of a photograph. And in that one instant I got the title for a potential next book.
Sam Abell
Image
Photography is like an open book to the world.
Lisa Jones
Image
The documentation about the work isn't of real importance to me either. I've done lots of works without taking photographs.
Jan Dibbets
Image
Through books and photographs, I saw a world that was not my own - and I realized that there was another world.
Bette Midler
Image
If there is pain in my photographs, it relates to the pain in my own existence.
Joel-Peter Witkin
Image
A good print is really essential. I want to take strong documentary photographs that are as good technically as any of the best technical photographs, and as creative as any of the best fine-art photographs. [...] I don't want to just be a photo essayist I'm more interested in single images...ones that I feel are good enough to stand on their own.
Mary Ellen Mark
Image
I love working with women. I think they're beautiful. I like to photograph them. I like the way they interact. When I was in high school I used to hang out with the girls. When I went to graduate school, I was in an all girls school. So it's something I'm very familiar with and quite fascinated by.
Brian De Palma
Image
Black and White is essentially an abstract way to interpret and transform what one might refer to as reality. My purpose in taking photographs over the past forty years has ultimately been about defining myself. It has been fundamentally a psychological and existential journey.
Roger Ballen
Image
Unlike the people you see in Mathew Brady's photographs from the Civil War, the men and women of the Revolution seem more like characters in a costume pageant. And it's a pageant in which the performers are all handsome as stage actors, with uniforms and dress that are always costume perfect.
David McCullough
Image
If the historian will be faithful to the photograph, the photograph will be faithful to history.
Beaumont Newhall
Image
Photography is the most transparent of the art mediums devised or discovered by man. It is probably for this reason that it proves so difficult to make the photograph transcend its almost inevitable function as document and act as a work of art as well.
Clement Greenberg
Image
Margaret Thatcher was in my year, and our first-year college photograph shows us standing side by side in the back row. We were both grammar school girls on state scholarships.
