Inspirational quotes:

 

"The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera."

Dorothea Lange

 

“Photography, alone of the arts, seems perfect to serve the desire humans have for a moment - this very moment - to stay.”

Sam Abell

 

"La photo, c'est l'instant, le cinéma, c'est le temps. Autrement dit, c'est le contraire."

Raymond Depardon

 

"I shoot constantly because I know that it keeps me sharp. When you stop shooting you aren’t thinking about the magic. It may be happening all around you, but you aren’t seeing it. You don’t care. You stop looking for it."

Matthew Craig

 

"In a portrait, I’m looking for the silence in somebody."

Henri Cartier-Bresson

 

“Thinking should be done before and after, not during photographing.”

Henri Cartier-Bresson

 

“If you can smell the street by looking at the photo, it’s a street photograph.”

Bruce Gilden

 

"I really don't have any idea about photography, but I take pictures."

Alex Majoli, Magnum

 

“My life is shaped by the urgent need to wander and observe, and my camera is my passport.”

Steve McCurry

 

"La force d’une photo tient à ce qu’elle laisse ouverts à l’examen des instants que le flux normal du temps emporte immédiatement."

Susan Sontag

 

"L’image n’est pas le double d’une chose. Elle est un jeu complexe de relations entre le visible et l’invisible, le visible et la parole, le dit et le non-dit."

Jacques Rancière

 

"It’s what I’ve never seen before that I recognize."

Diane Arbus

 

“I mean, it's very subtle and a little embarrassing to me, but I really believe there are things which nobody would see unless I photographed them.”

Diane Arbus

 

“My work is more than a representation of an external reality: it is a speculative process that approaches reality and truth as multiple, modular notions.”

Max Pinckers
