Photography is the story I fail to put into words.
When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.
Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second.
I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers.
A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you, the less you know.
One doesn’t stop seeing. One doesn’t stop framing. It doesn’t turn off and turn on. It’s on all the time.
In photography, there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
A good snapshot keeps a moment from running away.
The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.
Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.
Skill in photography is acquired by practice and not by purchase.
The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.
When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in black and white, you photograph their souls.
There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.
Every picture shows a spot with which the artist has fallen in love.
The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don’t have to explain things with words.
There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.
What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.
