Art Photography Quotes

Photography is essentially an act of recognition by street photographers, not an act of invention. Photographers might respond to an old man’s face, or an Arbus freak, or the way light hits a building—and then they move on. Whereas in all the other art forms, take William Blake, everything that came to that paper never existed before. It’s the idea of alchemy, of making something from nothing. Duane Michals
Andre Bazin quote: "Photography does not create eternity, as art does; it embalms..."
Photography does not create eternity, as art does; it embalms time, rescuing it simply from its proper corruption. Andre Bazin
Ansel Adams quote: "Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of..."
Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art. Ansel Adams
Sam Abell quote: "Photography, alone of the arts, seems perfected to serve the..."
Photography, alone of the arts, seems perfected to serve the desire humans have for a moment - this very moment - to stay. Sam Abell
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. Edward Steichen
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
The use of the term art medium is, to say the least, misleading, for it is the artist that creates a work of art not the medium. It is the artist in photography that gives form to content by a distillation of ideas, thought, experience, insight and understanding. Edward Steichen
After my kids were born I found myself incorporating my photography into different art endeavors and from there it just blossomed. I have always had to have an outlet for my creativity and when my life became more about raising my family than the bright lights of show business exploring my photo art was a great outlet for me. Angela Cartwright
To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place…I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them. Elliott Erwitt
Like my maestro, Juan Ribero, she believed that photography and painting are not competing arts but basically different: the painter interpets reality, and the camera captures it. In the former everything is fiction, while the second is the sum of the real plus the sensibility of the photographer. Ribero never allowed me sentimental or exhibitionist tricks-none of this arranging objects or models to look like paintings. He was the enemy of artificial compostion; he did not let me manipulate... Isabel Allende
If you take 2001: A Space Odyssey as an example of somebody who creates a new language in film by what he was able to accomplish with art direction, photography, lighting, etc., it is still a gold standard for science fiction. Matthew Modine
I mean, certainly writing, painting, photography, dance, architecture, there is an aspect of almost every art form that is useful and that merges into film in some way. Sydney Pollack
Thomas Wilson quote: "I was an artistic dilettante for a while, in photography and..."
I was an artistic dilettante for a while, in photography and collage and the visual arts. Thomas Wilson
Ray Harryhausen quote: "I took courses at USC in film editing and art direction and..."
I took courses at USC in film editing and art direction and photography when I was still in high school. Ray Harryhausen
Then I moved down to the Bowery to this building where Debbie Harry lived. It was there that I started combining some clothes for her and continued doing the art and photography. Stephen Sprouse
