These days I think the composers of music influence me more than any photographers or visual creators. I see something exciting or lovely and think to myself: 'If Papa Haydn or Wolfgang Amadeus or the red-headed Vivaldi were here with a camera, they'd snap a picture of what's in front of me.' So I take the picture for them.
Ralph Steiner

I think that any photographer is an investigator. Photography is a pretext to know the world, to know life. To know yourself.
Graciela Iturbide
Image
I very strongly believe that if you go back to your roots, if you mine that inner territory, you can bring out something that is indelibly you and authentic - like your thumbprint. It's going to have your style because there is no one like you.

Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?
Pablo Picasso

What you need to be a good photographer is an overwhelming curiosity and a good digestion.
Eve Arnold

You learn to see by practice. It's Just like playing tennis, you get better the more you play. The more you look around at things, the more you see. The more you photograph, the more you realize what can be photographed and what can't be photographed. You just have to keep doing it.
Eliot Porter

I am always stimulated by people. Almost never by ideas.
Richard Avedon

The photographer must bear the responsibility for his work and its effect …[for] photographic journalism, because of its tremendous audience reached by publications using it, has more influence on public thinking than any other branch of photography.

You just do what you love, and then a style happens later on.
David LaChapelle

The photograph itself doesn't interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Image
No photographer is as good as the simplest camera.
Edward Steichen

You sort of have to be always aware, even when you're not thinking of shooting. That's when the best stuff happens.

The moment always dictates in my work. What I feel, I do. This is the most important thing for me. Everybody can look, but they don't necessarily see. I never calculate or consider I see a situation and I know that it's right, even if I have to go back to get the proper lighting.
Andre Kertesz

I think the greatest photographers are the amateur photographers who do it because they love it. Arnold Newman is a good example he is a consummate professional, but he's also an 'amateur' in the pure sense of the word.
John Sexton
Image
I never liked photography. Not for the sake of photography. I like the object. I like the photographs when you hold them in your hand.
Robert Mapplethorpe
Image
Photography should be redefined. It's largely technical... Photography is just unbelievably limiting. I always think of David Bailey and all the fashion photographers - they overlap, you can't always tell who did it. I don't really even like photography all that much. I just think it's so overdone.
Peter Beard
Image
I have the same themes over and over again. How I'm saying it keeps changing or growing.
Joyce Tenneson
Image
Well, I'm not going to get into that. I think that those kind of distinctions and lists of titles like street photographer are so stupid. I'm a photographer, a still photographer. That's it.
Garry Winogrand

Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.
Ansel Adams
Image
Photographers want to reinvent you, to take you somewhere else, to show you in a completely different way. They look at your previous work, and try to figure out what they can do to show a new side of you.
Emma Watson
Image
You have to focus on what you are doing, not just as a photographer, but as a human being.
Anders Petersen
Image
The herculean task of a photographer is to capture a momentary frame as beautiful in reality, as it would be in a dream.
Ansel Adams
Image
It's easy to photograph light reflecting from a surface, the truly hard part is capturing the light in the air.
Walker Evans
Image
Henry James proposed asking of art three modest and appropriate questions: What is the artist trying to do? Does he do it? Was it worth doing?
