Looking at a black and white photograph, you are already looking at a strange world.
Joel Sternfeld
Image
The urge to create, the urge to photograph, comes in part from the deep desire to live with more integrity, to live more in peace with the world, and possibly to help others to do the same.
Wynn Bullock
Image
Why can't a photograph be all four things at once? -be an art object be a document, what ever that means exactly, but deal with content be a formalist exploration and operate on some, metaphor is not the right word but, resonant level.
Stephen Shore
Image
The good photograph is not the object, the consequences of the photograph are the objects. So that no one would say, how did you do it, where did you find it, but they would say that such things could be.
Dorothea Lange
Image
They had been corrupted by money, and he had been corrupted by sentiment. Sentiment was the more dangerous, because you couldn’t name its price. A man open to bribes was to be relied upon below a certain figure, but sentiment might uncoil in the heart at a name, a photograph, even a smell remembered.
Graham Greene

I've always been interested in people that you wouldn't see otherwise. If you look back at my books, photographs, and films-and since I'm doing this retrospective I've been forced to look back-the work is always about a small group of people who are somewhat isolated, and who you would never see if I didn't film or photograph them.
Larry Clark
Image
I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I went through a long period when I thought my photographs were not visible - on the wall, but not visible.
Jack Welpott
Image
The decision as to when to photograph, the actual click of the shutter, is partly controlled from the outside, by the flow of life, but it also comes from the mind and the heart of the artist. The photograph is his vision of the world and expresses, however subtly, his values and convictions.
Paul Strand
Image
I was always trying to take art photographs, but the most interesting pictures were the snapshots. The artsy pictures were boring, always.
Janet Malcolm
Image
The word photography can be interpreted as writing with light or drawing with light. Some photographers are producing beautiful photographs by drawing with light.. Some other photographers are trying to tell something with their photographs. They are writing with light.
Philippe Halsman
Image
Photographs are believed more than words thus they can be used persuasively to show people who have never taken the trouble to look what is there.
Eliot Porter
Image
Like all photographers, I depend on serendipity, and when you're photographing children there's often an abundance of it. I would have an idea of what a photograph would look like and then something would happen - a dog might lumber in and become a critical element. I pray for what might be referred to as the angel of chance.
Sally Mann
Image
[With my photographs] you have a [single, forever fixed] moment and my particular angle of vision. My tyrannical condition, as it were, is that I prescribe your vision.
Thomas Demand
Image
There are certain pictures I can never take. We turn on the TV and are smothered with cruelty and suffering and I don't need to add to it. So I just photograph peaceful things. A vase of flowers, a beautiful girl. Sometimes, through a peaceful face, I can bring something important into the world.
Edouard Boubat
Image
If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough.
Robert Capa
Image
Today everything exists to end in a photograph.
Susan Sontag
Image
This is what I like about photographs. They're proof that once, even if just for a heartbeat, everything was perfect.
Jodi Picoult
Image
If the public photograph contributes to a memory, it is to the memory of an unknowable and total stranger.
John Berger
Image
Someone said to me, early on in film school... if you can photograph the human face you can photograph anything, because that is the most difficult and most interesting thing to photograph.
Roger Deakins
Image
I always like to meet the people I'm going to photograph. I need to have a conversation. I need to feel a vibe. I need to see what's going on in the person. I'm not just interested in physical beauty. I really need a personality.
Mario Sorrenti
Image
There is something about the photographs that is endlessly disturbing. The fact that we like to think of them as torture actually hides what is really deeply offensive about them.
Errol Morris
Image
All photographs are far more important than any painting.
Gerhard Richter
Image
Most photographs are of life, what goes on in the world. And that's boring, generally. Life is banal, you know. Let's say that an artist deals with banality. I don't care what the discipline is.
