What philosophical words have world-class photographers said?

1. The first 10,000 photos you took were not good. "Your first 10000 photos are your worst."

Henri Cartier Bresson

Experience: you should practice everything, as well as photography. Did you know that soccer prodigy David Beckham shoots at least 1000 times a day? Go out and shoot!

If your photos are not good enough, you are not close enough. "If your photos are not good enough, you are.

Not close enough. "-robert capa

Experience: Kappa is a famous war photographer. He really needs to get close to the shell to take wonderful photos, but now we don't have to fight with our lives. In modern photography, this sentence does not mean that the physical distance is not close enough, but refers to emotional experience. If you can't blend in with the current environment, your mood can't be close to the environment you want to shoot, that is, the object. Naturally, you can't take good photos. Oh, Kappa was too close to you, and finally you stepped on a mine and died.

The most important part of the camera is the thing 12 inch behind it. "The most important part of a person.

The camera is behind it 12 inch. "-ansel adams

Experience: it means your head, the camera itself is not the most important, but if the photographer thinks and watches the subject he wants to shoot.

If I see something I feel familiar with through the observation window, I will try to see it again from a different angle. "If I see my things,

The viewfinder looks familiar, and I will do something to shake it. "

Gary winogran

Experience: This sentence is a famous saying of street photography. The essence of street photography is how to reinterpret people and things you are familiar with from different angles in the streets and environments you are used to every day. The so-called mountain is not a mountain, and water is not water, alas ... realm!

When you need it, the best camera is at your side. "The best camera is what you carry with you."

-Chase Jarvis

Lesson: Yes, yes.

The best camera is the one you left at home. "The best camera is the one you left behind.

Go home. "-Zach Arias' stupid old manager

Experience: this sentence sounds like a satire on the previous one, but when it comes to my heart ... I often want to take pictures without a camera, and now I have an iPhone.

7. Everyone has the opportunity to make great works. I'm better because I made two. "Everyone will take a great picture.

Pictures, I did better, because I took two. "-david belle

Lesson: So? What are you talking about?

8. When your imagination can't concentrate, don't rely on your eyes. "You can't rely on your eyes, if your.

Imagination is vague "-Mark

two

Experience: Even Mark Twain should say that when your imagination can't focus, you should think carefully about the people and things you see, because your eyes may be empty and you can't see them creatively.

9. A good photo is knowing where to wait. "A good photo is knowing where to stand."

Ansel Adams

Experience: Time and place are very important in street shooting, which is why Bresson said that street shooting is not only the art of "looking for" pictures, but also the art of "waiting". Wait for the right picture in the right place and press the shutter.

10. Real photographic works do not need to be explained by words, nor can they be explained by words. "A real photo doesn't need it.

Nor can it be explained in words "-ansel adams.

Experience: Indeed, when you see a photo, your first reaction is a rapid heartbeat, palpitation and emotional reaction, and then you will try to express your feelings in some words. In fact, many times, as long as you feel and enjoy the feeling brought by a photographic work, you don't have to describe anything with words or words.

1 1. The most difficult thing for me is portrait photography. You must put the camera between a person's skin and clothes. "The most difficult thing.

It's a portrait to me. You must try to put your camera in

Man and his shirt "-Henri keitel Bresson.

Experience: this sentence means that in portrait photography, we must try our best to see through a person, so that we can chew words.

12.

Think before photography, think after photography, and never think about the present. The secret of street shooting is to slow down. Not too fast. The object you shoot must be invisible to you. You have to be quick.

"Think about the photos before and after, never during. The secret is

Your time. You can't walk too fast. The target must forget you. So, how about it?

You must be very fast. "-Henri keitel Bresson

Experience: street shooting really tries not to let the subject find out that you are shooting them. Think about the composition before shooting, wait, let the picture come to you, and press the shutter when you are right. Bresson spent most of his time in street photography waiting for the appearance of the picture somewhere, instead of always taking the initiative to explore.

13. If you can smell street photography when you look at photos, it is street photography. "If you can smell the street.

Look at this photo, it's a street photo "-Bruce Gierden.

Experience: We describe a person as "delicious". Apart from the fact that this person may have body odor, it also shows that his temperament is very attractive, Bruce.

What Gierden means by this sentence is that if your photos can clearly convey "street tension", it is street photography. What is street tension? This can only be expressed in words. Look at street shooting more.

All photos are propaganda. "All photography is propaganda"-martin parr

Experience: Yes, there is nothing to say about promoting the photographer's point of view.

15. I finally learned photography, and now I can commit suicide because there is nothing to learn. "I found photography.

Now I can kill myself. I have nothing else to learn. "-Picasso

Experience: Needless to say, Brother Bi, although the speed of photography in recording a certain picture will be tens of thousands of times faster than that of painting, the brushwork and abstract drawing of painting are still beyond the reach of photography, and you can continue painting.

16. If you can keep calm, you will get everything. If you keep calm, you will get everything.

Eliot Erwitt

Experience: The most important thing in street shooting is to keep calm, observe calmly, don't rush to grab the picture, don't look around like a headless fly, and try to wait in one place. Keeping a cool head can help you observe more clearly and know when to press the shutter.

17. A good photo lies in the depth of emotion, not the depth of field. "great photos are about the depth of feelings, not

Depth of field "-Peter Adams

Experience: Many people will say, "Wow, what a beautiful photo." Anyone who turns up the aperture with an F/0.95 lens can take a cream background, but the really good photos are stories and emotions, not just the eternal background.

18. Many times the simplest photos are the most difficult to take. "Sometimes the simplest picture is also the most difficult.

Get it "-Neil Rafer

Experience: This sentence reminds me of Bresson's portrait photography. Portrait photography seems simple. You can shoot the subject well, and you can shoot it again if you don't shoot it well, which will make you happy. But it's almost impossible for you to photograph his soul and let people who look at it see through him.

19. You asked me which photo I like best? The one I want to take away tomorrow. "Which photo of me is mine?

Favorite? The one I am going to tomorrow. "-Imogen Cunningham.

Experience: there is no best, only better, keep shooting! Then I won't put your work on my side, Mr. Cunnigham. Wait until tomorrow. Oh, you may say that you have to wait for the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will say that you have to wait for the day after tomorrow, and come to me when you think about it ...)

20. Photography has nothing to do with what you see, but how you see it. "It's not what you see.

What matters is what you see. "-henry david thoreau

Experience: A powerful street photographer can see different wonderful things from different angles in his daily life. The so-called mountain is not a mountain, water is not water, realm ... has this sentence been used before?

2 1. My life is formed by the sense of urgency of constantly looking around, and the camera is my passport. "My life is made up of

There is an urgent need for wandering observation, and my camera is my passport. "-Steve

Mccurry

Experience: this is the so-called passion for photography ... there is often a sense of urgency to see some pictures.

22. I have been chasing light. Light can turn ordinary things into magic. "I will always pursue the light. The lights are turning.

Ordinary becomes magical "-Trent Parker

Experience: "Light" is the most important element in photography. Without light, nothing can be done. A large part of street shooting is the diversified light provided by the street. Although ISO is constantly adjusting,

Although aperture and shutter are troublesome, they also provide street photographers with opportunities to create a richer atmosphere.

23. My camera is like my toothbrush. It does what it should do, that is, take pictures. "I only use a camera, just like I use one.

Toothbrush. It accomplished the task. "-don mccullin

Experience: Otherwise, like folding stool in Stephen Chow, can he be used as a weapon besides sitting? What's the point of taking pictures without a camera? Of course, it is also possible that he has feelings for many cameras that can shoot movies now. He may think that cameras are used to take pictures instead of making movies.

24. Don't put the camera away unless you want to leave the shooting scene. "Don't put away your camera before you leave.

Location "-joe McNally

Experience: I am very touched by this sentence. I often feel that I have put away my camera and gone back, but I saw many great photos on my way back, but I didn't have time to take them out. Please don't put it away unless you really don't want to shoot it, because the picture you want to shoot may appear before you walk into the house.

25. I am a tourist "I am a tourist"-Gary Winogrand

Experience: When visitors go to a new place, they usually take pictures of everything, including the steps at home, telephone booths, signboards, road signs, passers-by and traffic lights. Everything looks novel, and street photographers should also look at people and things around them with this attitude. Street photographers are tourists living, or they wake up every day as aliens, visiting the earth for the first time. They are full of infinite curiosity about everything around them and look at familiar things from different angles.
