Photographer Quotes (page 5)

I like to feel that all my best photographs had strong personal visions and that a photograph that doesn't have a personal vision or doesn't communicate emotion fails. Galen Rowell
Ever since the 1860s when photographers travelled the American West and brought photographs of scenic wonders back to the people on the East Coast of America we have had a North American tradition of landscape photography used for the environment. Galen Rowell
What I mean by photographing as a participant rather than observer is that I'm not only involved directly with some of the activities that I photograph, such as mountain climbing, but even when I'm not I have the philosophy that my mind and body are part of the natural world. Galen Rowell
Unlike any other visual image, a photograph is not a rendering, an imitation or an interpretation of its subject, but actually a trace of it. No painting or drawing, however naturalist, belongs to its subject in the way that a photograph does. John Berger
Tallulah Bankhead quote: "They used to photograph Shirley Temple through gauze. They..."
They used to photograph Shirley Temple through gauze. They should photograph me through linoleum. Tallulah Bankhead
What is right? Simply put, it is any assignment in which the photographer has a significant spiritual stake... spiritually driven work constitutes the core of a photographer's contribution to culture. William Albert Allard
I think the best pictures are often on the edges of any situation, I don't find photographing the situation nearly as interesting as photographing the edges. William Albert Allard
Some photographers take reality... and impose the domination of their own thought and spirit. Others come before reality more tenderly and a photograph to them is an instrument of love and revelation. Ansel Adams
Ansel Adams quote: "A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels,..."
A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed. Ansel Adams
Ansel Adams quote: "There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good..."
There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs. Ansel Adams
One thing that struck me early is that you don’t put into a photograph what’s going to come out. Or, vice versa, what comes out is not what you put in. Diane Arbus
Jeanette Winterson quote: "The photographer frames the shot; writers frame their world"
The photographer frames the shot; writers frame their world Jeanette Winterson
Whenever I see a photograph of some sportsman grinning over his kill, I am always impressed by the striking moral and esthetic superiority of the dead animal to the live one. Edward Abbey
One of the marks of our world is perhaps this reversal: we live according to a generalized image-repertoire. Consider the United Sates, where everything is transformed into images: only images exist and are produced and are consumes ... Such a reversal necessarily raises the ethical question: not that the image is immoral, irreligious, or diabolic (as some have declared it, upon the advent of the Photograph), but because, when generalized, it completely de-realizes the human world of... Roland Barthes
Christians . . . ought not to be threatened by fantasy and imagination. Great painting is not "photographic": think of the Old Testament art commanded by God. There were blue pomegranates on the robes of the priest who went into the Holy of Holies. In nature there are no blue pomegranates. Christian artists do not need to be threatened by fantasy and imagination, for they have a basis for knowing the difference between them and the real world "out there." The Christian is the really free... Francis Schaeffer
