Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.
Oscar Wilde

Andre Kertesz
The marvels of daily life are exciting; no movie director can arrange the unexpected that you find in the street.
Robert Doisneau
The camera doesn't make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But, you have to SEE.
Ernst Haas
We try to grab pieces of our lives as they speed past us. Photographs freeze those pieces and help us remember how we were. We don't know these lost people but if you look around, you'll find someone just like them.
Gene McSweeney
Photographers represented occasions once. You dressed for them as you might for church; they cost money, they recorded important moments.
Michael Lesy
Photography is truth. And cinema is truth twenty-four times a second.
Jean luc Godard
Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again.
Henri Cartier Bresson
Photography to me is catching a moment which is passing, and which is true.
Jacques henri Lartigue

Ken Rockwell

Ansel Adams
They used to photograph Shirley Temple through gauze. They should photograph me through linoleum.
Tallulah Bankhead
I've never made any picture, good or bad, without paying for it in emotional turmoil.
W. Eugene Smith
While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see.
Dorothea Lange
In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little, human detail can become a Leitmotiv.
Henri Cartier bresson
Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past.
Berenice Abbott
What is right? Simply put, it is any assignment in which the photographer has a significant spiritual stake...spiritually driven work constitutes the core of a photographer's contribution to culture.
William Albert Allard
Your equipment DOES NOT affect the quality of your image. The less time and effort you spend worrying about your equipment the more time and effort you can spend creating great images. The right equipment just makes it easier, faster or more convenient for you to get the results you need.
Ken Rockwell
Photography is a small voice, at best, but sometimes one photograph, or a group of them, can lure our sense of awareness.
W. Eugene Smith
A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.
Diane Arbus
I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term -- meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching -- there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.
Ansel Adams
One should really use the camera as though tomorrow you'd be stricken blind.
Dorothea Lange
The camera is no more an instrument of preservation; the image is...
Berenice Abbott
No matter how advanced your camera you still need to be responsible for getting it to the right place at the right time and pointing it in the right direction to get the photo you want.
Ken Rockwell
The camera's only job is to get out of the way of making photographs.
Ken Rockwell
Actually, I'm not all that interested in the subject of photography. Once the picture is in the box, I'm not all that interested in what happens next. Hunters, after all, aren't cooks.
Henri Cartier bresson
Your photography is a record of your living, for anyone who really sees.
Paul Strand
I try to photograph people's spirits and thoughts. As to the soul-taking by the photographer, I don't feel I take away, but rather that the sitter and I give to each other. It becomes an act of mutual participation.
Yousuf Karsh
I wish more people felt that photography was an adventure the same as life itself and felt that their individual feelings were worth expressing. To me, that makes photography more exciting.
Harry Callahan
Above all, I craved to seize the whole essence, in the confines of one single photograph, of some situation that was in the process of unrolling itself before my eyes.
Henri Cartier bresson
Photography can never grow up if it imitates some other medium. It has to walk alone; it has to be itself.
Berenice Abbott
Think photographs should be provocative and not tell you what you already know. It takes no great powers or magic to reproduce somebody's face in a photograph. The magic is in seeing people in new ways.
Duane Michals
I'm always mentally photographing everything as practice.
Minor White
Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be.
Duane Michals
Photography helps people to see.
Berenice Abbott
Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the 'ah-ha'.
Ernst Haas
The camera can photograph thought. It's better than a paragraph of sweet polemic.
Dirk Bogarde

W. Eugene Smith
I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn't photograph them.
Diane Arbus

Edward Weston
In my view you cannot claim to have seen something until you have photographed it.
Emile Zola
With photography a new language has been created. Now for the first time it is possible to express reality by reality. We can look at an impression as long as we wish, we can delve into it and, so to speak, renew past experiences at will.
Ernst Haas
As I hold the future well-being of photography very dear I must see to it that these forces which militate against it be opposed and destroyed.
Alfred Stieglitz
Photography, fortunately, to me has not only been a profession but also a contact between people - to understand human nature and record, if possible, the best in each individual.
Nickolas Muray

Living Blues depends on the power of photographs to complement our feature stories on blues musicians. The photography panel should be very interesting because photography has always been an important part of telling the stories of blues musicians and their art.
Mark Camarigg
First of all I work out, second of all the Director of Photography on our film is amazing and I told him if any cellulite shows I will kill him!
Denise Richards

Larry Lesley
[The single-use camera doesn't threaten digital photography because it's] really just an on ramp to a digital image, ... Scan it in and you have a digital image. After that, you are more likely to move into the digital camera market.
Bruce Chizen
These astoundingly beautiful photographs give a rounded portrait of Ansel Adams the person - as artist, author, teacher and spokesperson for photography.
Malcolm Rogers
All these artists are very different visually and they're all using photography in different ways. The common thread that connects each of the artists is the exploration of identity.

Kelly Davis

All students and faculty could have submitted photos, not just the photography students.
Melissa Mcghee
I came to Ryerson in 2001 for a diploma in arts, but I was interested in photography at the time and didn't even know new media existed. When I found out about the department and the digital revolution, I just fell into it.
Jennifer Myers
He taught me everything I know about photography. Any interest I have in it came from him.

Keith Davis
Private Pictures: photography from Arizona collections.
Annie Leibovitz
What we now call modern photography was influenced by commercial photography. But not all (modern artists) were commercial photographers, and not many (commercial photographers) are recognized as fine artists.
Lee Brumbaugh

Bill Wyman
Twenty to 30 percent of my work is now related to photography and writing.

Chuck Carlson
The ads had to be effective. There's no photography so there has to be physical descriptions.

Michael Kirby
Apart from these cameras, no video shooting or photography will be allowed inside the polling booths.
Nalini Netto
The arts equally have distinct departments, and unless photography has its own possibilities of expression, separate from those of the other arts, it is merely a process, not an art.
Alfred Stieglitz

Alan Fields
In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.

Randy Baker
We chronicled the events in our lives in photography.

I have no fear of photography as long as it cannot be used in heaven and in hell.
Edvard Munch
When I first became interested in photography, I thought it was the whole cheese. My idea was to have it recognized as one of the fine arts. Today I don't give a hoot in hell about that. The mission of photography is to explain man to man and each man to himself.
