Technique isn't important. Technique is in the blood. Events and mood are more important than good light and the happening is what is important
Andre Kertesz
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
I don't see light as something that falls, but as a positive force.

Be sure to take the lens cap off before photographing.
Elliott Erwitt

Photography starts with the projection of the photographer, his understanding of life and himself into the picture.
Lisette Model

I'd like to briefly state the accomplishment that we expect from a photographer. He must make the person being photographed forget that he has eaten from the tree of knowledge.
Albert Renger-Patzsch

In putting images together I become active, and excitement is of another order - synthesis overshadows analysis.

My advice to photographers is to get out there in the field and take photographs but also if they are students to finish their course, learn as many languages as possible, go to movies, read books visit museums, broaden your mind.

Pay no heed to the average photographer's remarks upon flat and weak negatives. Probably he is flat, weak, stale, and unprofitable your negative may be first-rate, and probably is if he does not approve of it.

Frederick Sommer

Even in the nineties, when it was mad and there were photographers all around the house, it never occurred to me to send someone else out to get cigarettes. It took me five minutes - went for a walk, gave a wave, went back inside.
Noel Gallagher
Image
I never took it upon myself to change the world. And those contemporaries of mine who were going around falling for the idea that they were going to bring down the United States government and make a new world were just asses to me.
Walker Evans
Image
Reality has become a parallel universe with photographers returning with different versions of what it truly looks like.
Philip-Lorca diCorcia
Image
Your photography is a record of your living, for anyone who really sees.
Paul Strand

If the quality of professional materials continues to erode or even dries up, then many of us silver photographers would have to follow the digital tidal wave. It certainly wouldn't be the end of the world, but in my opinion, having no silver material available would be a huge loss to photography.
Michael Kenna
Image
My responsibility as a photographer, to my subjects, is to know what's going to happen with my images.
Erin Siegal McIntyre
Image
My least favorite photographer to have would be myself. Someone who wanted a career at National Geographic. Because it's almost mathematically impossible to achieve that.
Sam Abell
Image
It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.
David Bailey
Image
The fundamental issue is one of emphasis: you are not a photographer because you are interested in photography...The reason is that photography is only a tool, a vehicle, for expressing or transmitting a passion in something else. It is not the end result.
David Hurn
Image
I dream that someday the step between my mind and my finger will no longer be needed. And that simply by blinking my eyes, I shall make pictures. Then, I think, I shall really have become a photographer.
Alfred Eisenstaedt
Image
Photography is a tool for dealing with things everybody knows about but isn’t attending to. My photographs are intended to represent something you don’t see.
Emmet Gowin
Image
Forget what it was. Look at what it is.

Choice or freedom of choice is just an existential concern. But for photographers, it's a lifetime's preoccupation.
