Photographer Quotes
-
Art is something important, but the history of humanity is more important, and that is what press photographers record. We are the eyes of the world. We see on behalf of other people.
Ara Guler
-
You become things, you become an atmosphere, and if you become it, which means you incorporate it within you, you can also give it back. You can put this feeling into a picture. A painter can do it. And a musician can do it and I think a photographer can do that too and that I would call the dreaming with open eyes.
Ernst Haas
-
While primarily a photographer, I do not see or think photographically; hence the story of Indian life will not be told in microscopic detail, but rather will be presented as a broad and luminous picture.
Edward S. Curtis
-
I seem to walk in the world as two people. The normal everyday-me is as preoccupied, unobservant and oblivious to visual clues as I ever was. Then there is the photographer-me, the one who has a camera in hand and a specific project in mind, and then the world suddenly jumps to life with potential pictures, as if a switch had been thrown in my brain and a different person is looking out of the same eyes.
Bill Jay
-
There are no photographs while I'm reloading .
Garry Winogrand
-
The present challenge to the photographer is to express inner significance through outward form.
Beaumont Newhall

The celebrity-making machine-photographers, paparazzi, press and stuff like that-can be ruthless.
Catherine Keener
-
As a photographer, knowing what an artist is going to do at a certain point in a song, you can prepare for it and get that crazy Kanye “lean forward arm back and to the sky” signature move.
Jonathan Mannion
-
The photographer discovers himself/herself being photographed and we can guess he is uncomfortable. Unsuccessfully he/she tries to recompose his posture and to look like a photographer taking photos. But no, he is and continues to be a spectator. The momentous fact of being photographed leads him to becoming an actor. And, as always, actors must assume a role, which is only an elegant way of avoiding to say they must choose sides, choose a faction, take an option.
Subcomandante Marcos
-
The artist and the photographer seek the mysteries and the adventure of experience in nature.
Ansel Adams
-
When we hold a photo negative up to the light all objects are reversed. Black is white, white is black. Moreover, the character lines of any face in the picture are not clear. Once placed into the developing solution, what photographers call "the latent image" is revealed in the print-darkness is turned to light; and, lo, we have a beautiful picture.
Catherine Marshall
-
Just because I use the photographic medium, that doesn't mean I'm a photographer.
Nikki S. Lee
