Photography Quotes
-
Egon Schiele is my favorite painter. There's just something about art - photography, painting, music, plays - whatever you see, sometimes there's a gut reaction that's more important or more visceral than what your brain is thinking about. You can't explain that reaction. It's like what happens when you fall in love.
Albert Hammond, Jr.

I've spent most of my life embracing violence in wars and revolutions. Even a famine is a form of violence. Because I photograph people in peril, people in pain, people being executed in front of me, I find it very difficult to get my head around the art narrative of photography.
Don McCullin

Criss Angel
-
Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer - and often the supreme disappointment.
Ansel Adams
-
With photography, you are lucky if you get people to look at your pictures at some point. There's no formal way to show them.
Anton Corbijn
-
