“When you look at a good Ansel Adams photograph, you think you know the temperature, the relative humidity, the month.”
John Szarkowski
“When I'm ready to make a photograph, I think I quite obviously see in my minds eye something that is not literally there in the true meaning of the word. I'm interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without.”
Ansel Adams
“I try to photograph people's spirits and thoughts. As to the soul-taking by the photographer, I don't feel I take away, but rather that the sitter and I give to each other. It becomes an act of mutual participation.”
Yousuf Karsh
“A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.”
“While photographs may not lie, liars may photograph.”
Lewis Hine
“I think, if my butt's not too big for them to be photographing it, then it shouldn't be too big for me.”
Christy Turlington
“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
