Our favorite photography quotes
A good photograph is one you look at for longer than a second. Henry Cartier-Bresson
There are always two people involved in a picture: the photographer and the viewer.
A photo is usually just looked at – rarely is it looked into.
Twelve good photos in one year is a good yield. Ansel Adams
Anyone can take a snapshot. Even a machine. But not everyone can observe.
Photography is art only insofar as it is used by the art of observation. Observation is a fundamentally poetic process. Reality, too, must be shaped if one wants to make it speak. Friedrich Dürrenmatt
Photography is more than just pressing the shutter button. Bettina Rheims
Photography is my second language. Gary Kapluggin
I give the moment permanence. Manuel Alvarez Bravo
The amateur worries about the right equipment, the professional worries about money, and the master worries about light. Georg IR B.
Never photograph anything that doesn't interest you. Lisette Modell
Photography is a way of screaming, of liberating oneself. It's a way of living. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Make visible what might never have been perceived without you. Robert Bresson
Anyone who ignores the rules of photography as a beginner lacks common sense. Anyone who clings to them throughout their photographic career lacks imagination. Detlev Motz
Sure, the equipment was expensive, and I'm not taking any better pictures because of it. But I'm having more fun with my bad pictures now. Heiko Kanzler
The equipment we use plays only a small role. Mastering it is more important. Sam Abell
You have to work harder. You have to start looking for images that no one else can make. You have to take your tools and dig deeper. William Albert Allard
Results are uncertain – even among the most experienced photographers. Matthew Brady
The photographer's primary instrument is his eyes. As crazy as it may seem, many photographers choose to see through the eyes of other photographers—past or present. These photographers are blind. Manuel Alvarez Bravo
Satisfaction comes from working alongside 500 other photographers and still being able to show something different. David Burnett
Of course, it's always luck. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Of course, there will always be those who look only at the technique and ask "how," while others, more curious, will ask "why." Personally, I've always preferred inspiration over information. Man Ray
The fact that a technically flawed photograph (in the conventional sense) can be more emotionally effective than a technically flawless image will come as a shock to those naive enough to believe that technical perfection constitutes the true value of a photograph. Andreas Feininger
A good photographer is knowing where to stand. Ansel Adams
Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst. Henri Cartier Bresson
We were born to learn; when we learn together, we reach our goals faster. Manfred P. Zinkgraff
Every work is a self-portrait of the person who created it. Karl Pilsl
Being ready is a lot, being able to wait is more, but first: seizing the right moment is everything. Arthur Schnitzler
