memories thinking mirrors
The camera is a mirror with a memory, but it cannot think.
photography moving furniture
Photography is 1% talent and 99% moving furniture.
ideas
Ideas visuales combinadas con tecnología e interpretación personal es igual a fotografía
men sometimes nonsense
I am convinced that any photographic attempt to show the complete man is nonsense. We can only show, as best we can, what the outer man reveals. The inner man is seldom revealed to anyone, sometimes not even the man himself.
heart reflection thinking
We don't take photographs with our cameras, we take them with our hearts and our minds. They are a reflection of ourselves...wha t we are and what we think.
photography heart mind
We don't take pictures with cameras, we take them with our hearts and minds.
photography heart ideas
We do not make photographs with our cameras. We make them with our minds, with our hearts, with our ideas.
photography heart thinking
A lot of photographers think that if they buy a better camera they'll be able to take better photographs. A better camera won't do a thing for you if you don't have anything in your head or in your heart.
photography technology ideas
Visual ideas combined with technology combined with personal interpretation equals photography. Each must hold it's own; if it doesn't, the thing collapses.
care matter negative
I don't care what you do with that negative, you can retouch it, you can spit on it, you can grind it underfoot. The only thing that matters is if it is honest. If [the picture] is honest, you and everybody can tell. If it is dishonest, you and everybody can tell.
photography perfect rules-and-regulations
There are no rules and regulations for perfect composition. If there were we would be able to put all the information into a computer and would come out with a masterpiece. We know that's impossible. You have to compose by the seat of your pants.
art arrogant photographer
Those who call themselves art photographers are pompous, arrogant egoists.
personality finals impossible
It seems to me that no one picture can ever be a final summation of a personality. There are so many facets in every human being that it is impossible to present them all in one photograph.
reflection two shooting
Influences come from everywhere but when you are actually shooting you work primarily by instinct. But what is instinct? It is a lifetime accumulation of influence: experience, knowledge, seeing and hearing. There is little time for reflection in taking a photograph. All your experiences come to a peak and you work on two levels: conscious and unconscious.
