I paint what cannot be photographed, something from the imagination... I photograph the things I don't want to paint, things that are already in existence.
Man Ray
Image
The class that I teach is called The Life of a Photograph. It takes up the question, of the billion photographs that were taken today, how many will have a life, and why? So the new reality has made the question more pertinent, not less pertinent.
Sam Abell
Image
Like a ventriloquist who laughs at his dummy's jokes, I keep trying to make photographs that seduce me into believing in the image - all the time knowing better, but believing anyway.
Larry Sultan
Image
Whenever I am tired of making photographs of drawings, I make drawings of photographs.
Vik Muniz
Image
Take a random selection of photographs of America in 2012 and 2002 and 1992 and, except for the skinny jeans and the porkpie hats, you'll be hard-pressed to tell the years in which the pictures were taken.
Graydon Carter
Image
There are no bad pictures that's just how your face looks sometimes.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Character, like a photograph, develops in darkness.
Yousuf Karsh
Image
It is best to meet in a cul-de-sac, A palace of velvet With windows of mirrors. There one is safe, There are no family photographs, No rings through the nose, no cries.
Sylvia Plath
Image
People believe that photographs are true and therefore cannot be art.
Mason Cooley
Image
I look to the right as I cross the bridge and smile to see the tip of the Eiffel Tower soaring over rooftops in the distance on the other side of the river. I've seen it in photographs a thousand times, but seeing it in person for the first time that reminds me that I'm really, truly here, thousands of miles away, across an ocean from home.
Kristin Harmel
Image
I do not photograph nature. I photograph my visions.
Man Ray
Image
The photograph gives constant reference to the rectangle. This forces any idea into the confines of pictorial illusionism.
Dennis Oppenheim
Image
For me, the subject of the picture is always more important than the picture.
Diane Arbus
Image
In a painting no one complains that the subject is posed, but everybody complains about what looks posed in a photograph. Except, I've found that if I go very close in to the face, then the posed expression no longer exists. The face becomes a landscape of the lakes of the eyes and the hills of the nose and the valley of the cleft of the chin.

My photographs are not pure: they are a seething wealth of imperfection.
Frederick Sommer
Image
Photographs are still being taken but aren't being shown. There's one of a skeleton bound at the wrists with pants still around its ankles if it was a woman, she was likely raped if it was a man, he was possibly castrated.
Nicholas D. Kristof
Image
It takes me a long time to change. I don't think you can just go out and figure out a bunch of visual ideas and photograph. The change happens in living and not through thinking.
Harry Callahan
Image
America is the most inventive country in the world. Why? Because everybody has access to information. In the Soviet Union it was illegal to take a photograph of a train station. Look what happened to them.
Tom Clancy
Image
We must remember that a photograph can hold just as much as we put into it, and no one has ever approached the full possibilities of the medium.
Ansel Adams
Image
I think of my photographs as being obviously symbolic, but not symbolically obvious.
Jerry Uelsmann
Image
As photographs give people an imaginary possession of a past that is unreal, they also help people to take possession of space in which they are insecure.
Susan Sontag
Image
I don't even know what an 'It' girl is. As far as I'm concerned, an 'It' girl is somebody who doesn't do anything except go to parties and get her photograph taken.
Sienna Miller
Image
A photographer who does not know how to translate his feelings and ideas into a graphically satisfactory form is bound to produce ineffective photographs, no matter how idealistic, compassionate, sensitive or imaginative he may be. For in order to be considered good, a photograph must not only say something worthwhile, it must say it well.
Andreas Feininger
Image
When I go to photograph somebody, they say, What do you want me to do? Those are the most frightening words in the English language. I want to say, Please, go over into good light and do something unusual.
