Quit trying to find beautiful objects to photograph. Find the ordinary objects so you can transform it by photographing it.
Morley Baer
Image
If it is practiced by a man of taste, the photograph will have the appearance of art (but) the photographer must...intervene as little as possible, so as not to lose the objective charm which it naturally possesses.
Henri Matisse
Image
... photography, like all camera-made images such as film and video, effaces the marks of its making (and maker) at the click of a shutter. A photograph appears to be self-generated - as though it had created itself.
Abigail Solomon-Godeau
Image
The idea of photographing an Arab man naked and having him simulate homosexual activity, and having an American GI woman in the photographs, is the end of society in their eyes.
Seymour Hersh
Image
While we cannot describe its appearance (the equivalent), we can define its function. When a photograph functions as an Equivalent we can say that at that moment, and for that person the photograph acts as a symbol or plays the role of a metaphor for something that is beyond the subject photographed.

In Majorca, I can be myself. I go to the supermarket and the cinema, and I am just Rafa. Everyone knows me, and it is no big deal. I can go all day - no photographs.
Rafael Nadal
Image
There's no particular class of photograph that I think is any better than any other class. I'm always and forever looking for the image that has spirit! I don't give a damn how it got made.
Minor White

When we were kids, growing up in the sixties, the only images we had of ourselves were either still photographs or 8mm movies.... Now we have video, digital cameras, MP3s, and a million other ways to document ourselves. But the still photograph continues to hold a sense of mystery and awe to me.
Catherine Opie
Image
Every photograph is a fiction with pretensions to truth. Despite everything that we have been inculcated, all that we believe, photography always lies it lies instinctively, lies because its nature does not allow it to do anything else.
Joan Fontcuberta
Image
Photograph: a picture painted by the sun without instruction in art.
Ambrose Bierce
Image
Initially I borrowed the word “perverse” from Roland Barthes, meaning pleasure-driven and not geared to inform or promote a service or a product. An unproductive photograph designed to keep you in the process of looking is of course something larger than an expression of aberrant sexuality.
Torbjørn Rødland
Image
There's this way that photography is always about going out searching. I'm not the kind of a photographer who can photograph my home.
Justine Kurland
Image
Yet it seems so easy to take a photograph! One forgets that, apart from the technical aspects, photography can be a mental creation and the affirmation of a personality. What is marvelous about a photograph is that its possibilities are infinite there aren't any subjects 'done to death'.
Gisele Freund
Image
A photograph is not merely a substitute for a glance. It is a sharpened vision. It is the revelation of new and important facts.
Sid Grossman
Image
Photographs are not only points of reference... they're often triggers of ideas.
Francis Bacon
Image
For me, the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Image
To me, photographs are like words and I generally will place many photographs together or print them one inside the other in order to construct a free-floating sentence that speaks about the world I witness.
David Wojnarowicz
Image
When you draw something it lives and when you photograph it it dies
John Fowles
Image
Don't shoot what it looks like. Shoot what it feels like.
David Alan Harvey
Image
All my photographs seep through EMOTION , through the relationship I establish with the place I am portraying. Whenever I see something that captivates me, I start turning around it to find MY OWN frame. I work on myself and on the city at the same time.
Augusto De Luca
Image
My intention is to make interesting photographs. That's it, in the end. I don't make it up. Let's say it's a world I never made. That's what was there to deal with.
Garry Winogrand
Image
We all expect photographs to be a picture of something. We assume that the photographer observed a place, a person, an event in the world, and wants to record it, point at it…The problem with my work is that these images are really not of anything in that sense, they register only that which is incidental and peripheral to the implied it.
Uta Barth
Image
I hate those live action versions of animated cartoons. It ruins everything, the whole point of cartoons is to get away from photographs. I mean it would be stupid to say that cartoons are better than photographs but its true.
Jim Jarmusch
Image
This is the gift of the landscape photograph, that the heart finds a place to stand.
