There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.
What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.
A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart, and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it.
Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.
Skill in photography is acquired by practice and not by purchase.
In photography, there are no shadows that cannot be illuminated.
The more pictures you see, the better you are as a photographer.
You don't take a photograph, you make it.
Every picture shows a spot with which the artist has fallen in love.
The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.
I am not interested in shooting new things – I am interested to see things new.
There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.
Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second.
When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.
In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.
The camera makes you forget you’re there. It’s not like you are hiding but you forget, you are just looking so much.
The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.
The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don’t have to explain things with words.
Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
