The good photographer will produce a competent picture every time whatever his subject. But only when his subject makes and immediate and direct appeal to his own interests will he produce a work of distinction.
Bill Brandt
Image
I fell in love with traveling and thought being a photographer would be an interesting way to travel and make a living.
Peter Menzel
Image
I would like to see everything, look at everything, I want to be the view itself.
Josef Koudelka
Image
If there is any method in the way I take pictures, I believe it lies in this: See the subject first. Do not try to force it to be a picture of this, that or the other thing. Stand apart from it. Then something will happen. The subject will reveal itself.
Bill Brandt
Image
As a professional photographer I take photographs for other people to see - but I want them to see what I see. So I never assume that only a few people will appreciate what I do. At all times, the public should be able to understand what I've done, even if they don't understand how I've done it.
Elliott Erwitt
Image
The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking.
Brooks Atkinson
Image
No photographer is better than the simplest of cameras
Edward Weston
Image
The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.
Ansel Adams
Image
Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information.
Man Ray

A creative photographer is one who either captures mystery or reveals things, everything else is useless
Raghu Rai

There are photographic fanatics, just as there are religious fanatics. They buy a so-called candid camera there is no such thing: it’s the photographer who has to be candid, not the camera.
Weegee

Twentieth-century art has allowed me to see things in a cryptic way. I love the butterfly's wings, which disappear when folded and when open leave this brilliant, intense pronouncement of nature, 'Here I am.'
Emmet Gowin
Image
In a way my work is documentary. But I am also a photographer who has a distinct style. My photographs are a companion to the reality of the situation.
Graciela Iturbide
Image
Predators and prey always coexist. That's why we have galleries as well as photographers.
Bill Jay
Image
I like the simple things. I don't know why. I'm that way. I came from a simple place.
Harry Callahan
Image
I got five kids, and my oldest is a documentary film maker and camera man, and still photographer.
Beau Bridges
Image
Many claim I am a photographer of tragedy. In the greater sense I am not, for though I often photograph where the tragic emotion is present, the result is almost invariably affirmative.
W. Eugene Smith
Image
It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he or she is potentially. Each photographer, then, should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through an understanding of others and the world we inhabit. When that happens, the results, like photographs, are really the expressions of the life of the maker.
David Hurn
Image
We must avoid however, snapping away, shooting quickly and without thought, overloading ourselves with unnecessary images that clutter our memory and diminish the clarity of the whole.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Image
I always found it rather pathetic that as a photographer I would be dependent to such a large extent on sheer luck... So the moment I was offered [digital] tools to bend the shape of the image into my choices, and not those of lady luck, I was hooked.
Pedro Meyer
Image
I never chased after any particular school, never really had mentors I really just did the work that was true to me.
Joyce Tenneson
Image
There is a considerable amount of manipulation in the printmaking from the straight photograph to the finished print. If I do my job correctly that shouldn't be visible at all, it should be transparent.
John Sexton
Image
There are so many artists that are dyslexic or learning disabled, it's just phenomenal. There's also an unbelievably high proportion of artists who are left-handed, and a high correlation between left-handedness and learning disabilities.
Chuck Close
Image
The wandering photographer sees the same show that everyone else sees. He, however, stops to watch it.
