I think of myself as a writer who photographs. Images, for me, can be considered poems, short stories or essays. And I've always thought the best place for my photographs was inside books of my own creation.
Sam Abell
Image
But I did not always know just what it was I wanted to photograph. I believe it is important for a photographer to discover this, for unless he finds what it is that excites him, what it is that calls forth at once an emotional response, he is unlikely to achieve his best work.
Bill Brandt
Image
I never question what to do, it tells me what to do. The photographs make themselves with my help.
Ruth Bernhard
Image
The drama of light exists not only in what is in the light, but also in what is left dark. If the light is everywhere, the drama is gone.
Jay Maisel
Image
Obviously, we can see what was in front of the camera, but if a photograph is honestly made, it's a bit of a self-portrait. I think it's impossible for a photographer who is working honestly to keep this from happening.
John Sexton
Image
In a portrait, you have room to have a point of view. The image may not be literally what's going on, but it's representative.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
The photographs don't arouse me. All I can think about is the hard work it took to make them.
Helmut Newton
Image
Pictures you have taken have an influence on those that you are going to make. That's life!
John Sexton

I'm not against digital photography. It's great for newspapers. And there are photographers doing great work digitally. When they use Photoshop as a darkroom tool, that's fine, too. But at this point of my life, after so many years, I don't really want to change, and I still love film.
Mary Ellen Mark
Image
I've been a documentary photographer for much longer than I have been a filmmaker.
Lauren Greenfield
Image
I was taking all prints and I brought them to the Magnum meetings, trying the old Josef Koudelka trick: Give them to photographers, who are getting bored during the talks about the economics of the agency, to look through with a pen. They'll separate them in two piles. I started to find the core pictures that people seem to relate to.
Peter van Agtmael
Image
A good photographer can make you look incredible, even when you're not feeling very sexy.
Cindy Margolis
Image
I think most serious photographers understand that there's this large gap between the world and how the world looks through a photograph.
Stephen Shore
Image
My father, an architectural photographer, was an incurable tinkerer, maker and mender.
Nick Park
Image
The main thing is to study pictures and stop listening to the pontifictaions of photographers. Photographers aren't oracles of wisdom. If they're good photographers, then take a good look at their pictures - what else do you need?
Elliott Erwitt
Image
Realism and superrealism are what I'm after. This world is full of things the eye doesn't see. The camera can see more, and often 10 times better.
Andreas Feininger
Image
Gesture will survive whatever kind of light you have. Gesture can triumph over anything because of its narrative content.
Jay Maisel
Image
I was brought up on art. My father thought I had a great hand at art and sent me to art school. But he did not want me to become a photographer.
Imogen Cunningham
Image
There's something Zen-like about the way I work - it's like raking gravel in a Zen Buddhist garden.
Chuck Close
Image
I do not photograph for ulterior purposes. I photograph for the thing itself - for the photograph - without consideration of how it may be used.
Eliot Porter
Image
[Photography] underlines the photographer. That's the Barthesian this has been. Well, this has been for the photographer as well. The photographer is the hidden placeholder in the Barthesian equation.
James Welling
Image
When I was young, I did actually model and was much photographed by famous photographers. But I was always a bookworm.
Marina Warner
Image
The photographer hopes, in brief, to discover a tension so exact that it is peace.
Robert Adams
Image
You know, they always say that the photographer is a hunter of images. That is a flattering image, the idea of a hunter, it's virile, acquired power. Actually though, it isn't that. We are really fishermen with hooks and lines.
Robert Doisneau
