Ansel Adams:. - The fact that the photographer can see, and what they saw - say, a far more important than the quality of technical equipment.
The negative - can be likened to the notes, and print - the concert. Each new show will be something different from the previous.
Ruth Bernhard:.
-If you're not too keen on his work, then you can make very nice pictures, but they will not touch the viewer to the quick.
- If you do not try to see more visible, there is nothing you will not see.
Bill Brandt:.
- A distinctive feature of the photographer - watch more intensely than other people. He must maintain a sensitive child who sees the world for the first time, or the traveler who enters a foreign country.
For the photographer, it is important to know what effect it makes the lens. The lens - it's his eyes, that he does - or ruining - photo. A sense of composition is also necessary. I think a lot depends on the instinct. Perhaps it can be developed, but I do not think this can be taught. To make a good photograph a young photographer must understand that there is a strong sense of. He should open his own world.
Henri Cartier- Bresson:.
- The basis of all poetry is. Many photographers are worn with some strange and absurd images, thinking that this is poetry. Not at all. Poetry usually includes two elements which are in conflict, and between flashes spark. But it appears only occasionally and is difficult to waylay. This is the same as if a man lying in wait for inspiration, it comes by itself when a person lives a full, enriching his life.
- Photography - is what are painting, composition, plastic rhythm, geometry, and placed in a few fractions of a second.
- I hope that we will never live in a world where traders will sell viewfinders engraved with compositional schemes.
Helmut Newton:.
- Photo - the process of seduction. No matter how powerless people in my life, at the time of shooting, he belongs entirely to you. Not all photographers manage to seduce the models. My wife and many others does not work. They are - honest photographers. I - dishonest.
Studio photographer killed, decimating white wall shot, I never work in the studio!.
- I am not the first time, saying that ... It will kill photo. It is killing her. This is a very serious.
Eugene Smith:.
- An artist must be selfish.
- What's the point in the depth of field, if you do not feel deep feelings?.
Ralph Gibson:.
-When you draw, then add to the already drew new lines, points, and so on until you finish. When I photograph, I move closer, to prevent any objects from the frame, then more and more closer, until the frame will not only what I want. I ...
- If you are shooting a reality in black and white film, you make three steps away from the reality: you remove the color, you reduce the size - the picture you have less than the reality, and you 're doing a flat, two-dimensional. B / W because it looks more dramatic that you've gone away from the reality on the three-step.
Robert Frank:.
- I am often accused that I deliberately distorting facts to suit my point of view. This is partly true, because the photographer can observe the life of indifference. His opinion - a kind of criticism. But the criticism may be in love.
- Black and white - the colors of photos. To me they symbolize the hope and despair.
