If you want to find a book about photography, the key is to find an idea from the book, not just monotonous.

Books are hard to find. I'll give you some information, hoping to meet your needs.

The hand that pressed the shutter

"Intellectuals are keen to discuss the significance of photography, so photographers are increasingly reluctant to press the shutter. This situation may lead to polarization of photography, and finally there are only two kinds of people left: news photographers and philosophers. " (helmut newton)

Close your eyes.

"People take pictures of things to drive them away from their hearts, and my story is a way to close my eyes." (Kafka)

◎ The way to see the world

"I don't care how the camera looks at things. I want it to see the way I look at the world." (Ralph Gibson)

◎ The first shot of the film

"Every photo can be the first shot of a movie." (wim Wenders)

Lycra

"If someone wants to show a little boy in Ramallah throwing stones, he might use a digital camera. If he wants to show the whole story and explain to the world what is happening and why the boy did it, he will use a Leica camera. This is a more personal tool. With Lycra, you can have your own style, just like your own handwriting. " (Jerome Fecheheim, spokesperson of Leica Camera Company)

◎ End with a photo

"The most logical thing Malamei said is that everything in the world exists to end in the book. Now everything exists to end with a photo. " (susan sontag)

romanticism

"People who always say that I am romantic, because they are cynical and frustrated in life, so they can't believe anything. And when I stick to my beliefs, they call me romanticism. " (Eugene Smith)

Stinky photos

"I deal with the poor, and Richard Avedon advocates elegance ... It is very important to take smelly photos, which are related to things you have never done (they may be some kind of creative opportunity) ... Sometimes, you look at the camera frame, just like looking at a kaleidoscope. You shake it, but sometimes nothing moves ... "

(Diane Arbus)

◎ fuzziness of nature

"Blacet taught me what is implicit, because I have been paying special attention to clarity for so many years. Recently, Blacet has been making me think about how to really face what I can't see in the photo. Whether it's Blacet or Bill Brandt, there is a natural blur in their photos, which is impressive to read. " (Diane Arbus)

clotting time

"As the shutter opens, time freezes, and the record of' this moment' cannot be copied and becomes forever." (Nobuyoshi Araki)

Our loneliness

"The results of exploration and decisive moments can be shared with all audiences. But those other moments, those millions of other inconclusive moments, all fruitless explorations are hoarded on us, forming our loneliness. " (Frank Hova)

Dreams and discipline

"Dreams and discipline do not conflict, they are two sides of an organic whole. Just like music, it is based on the accuracy of mathematics, but it touches us from the feeling and mind. Skills and sensibility are inseparable. " (Mark Lieb)

Decisive moment

"Life is made up of hundreds of millions of moments. How to decide which moment is decisive? Bresson is determined by geometry; Link, who likes to shoot trains, depends on the passing of trains; Rubinstein decided by her heart. Taking geometry as the standard is not necessarily better than other standard deviations. In fact, there is no difference in standards. Link's standard allowed him to take only one photo, which was the moment when the train crossed the border. Bresson made many rules for himself. He won't press the shutter unless he meets certain geometric requirements. Even if the world explodes, he will still take pictures according to his geometric principles. " (Jean-Loop Seaver)

aiming point

"I don't think we can change our eyes. The aiming point is your own decision. You think you are lucky, and the photos taken outside the aiming point are also your own. " (Jean-Loop Seaver)

Good photo.

"Sometimes, good photos are like sounds, and I can feel them. But this kind of situation is rare, and often what I think is good is actually unreasonable. Another thing I didn't notice, I said what I should say. " (Jean-Loop Seaver)

A woman named Tokyo.

"I walk with a woman named Tokyo in a place also called Tokyo and often take pictures of her." (Nobuyoshi Araki)

Behind the flowers

"A photographer knows that there are sufferings all over the world behind flowers. Through this flower, he can get in touch with other things. " (Edward Bubba)

A lucky man.

"Photography not only made me earn money, but also made me know different people, animals, trees and flowers I didn't know before, and explored the ever-changing landscape of the ocean and the earth. And-I think the most important thing is-it enables me to connect these lives with friendship, and in this respect, I think I am indeed a particularly lucky person. " (Hamaya Hiroshi)

Good photo.

"A good photo is one with which I can live, just like living with some music or someone." (Kodeka)

People who get nothing.

"The photographer is actually the one who got nothing, but he always kept hope until the last moment. This hope inspired him to persevere. Photographers can stay young because they want to take successful photos until the last moment. " (Edward Bubba)

◎ 1

"Photography is not painting. Painting is composition, modification and change. What should be subtracted, what should be added. Photography is just a moment, with or without it, death or life is a kind of' moving'. " (william klein)

◎ Tools

"The camera is my tool, through which I give a reason to everything around me." (Andre Kertesz)

I respect negation as much as I respect the sea.

"I respect the negative, and I believe that only in this way can I get the respect of the natural forces around me. You would say, this is superstition. But I believe that as long as I don't pay attention, the photos will play a joke on me. Every film put into the camera has this danger. The photo is there, anyone can get it, but it doesn't belong to anyone. I respect it like the sea: because it is much bigger than me. " Don McCullin

You must have been crazy when you were young.

"The first thing I said to the students was to shoot as long as possible from morning till night. I told them that they must be crazy about photography and be crazy when they are young. That's not enough. You won't understand photography until you find the limitations of photography in difficulties. " (Iwamiya Takeshi)

I walked around among the actors on the stage.

"The director of the theater allowed me to take photos freely during rehearsal. I walked around among the actors on the stage, clapping my hands at the same scene over and over again in different ways. This incident taught me how to practice in the existing situation and achieve the most perfect and perfect state. Until now, I still continue to work in the same way.

"A large part of my photography revolves around festivals, events and other occasions held every year. These events are more or less fixed, so I know exactly what will happen next; I know the actors, I know the story, I know the stage, and when those actors and I are at their peak, we can take a good photo. " (Kodeka)

◎ The atmosphere of the room

"Everyone has felt the atmosphere of a room at some point. This atmosphere is related to our emotions, or to someone, to the past, to the future, and even to dreams. When the atmosphere is combined with these things, it can produce a very sharp feeling-almost like' homesickness'. " (Pir brand)

A discordant combination

"I like combinations that don't match." (Robert Donovan)

Please smile again.

"Photography, in my opinion, is a sketch of painting, which is done intuitively and cannot be modified. If it is necessary to modify it, it will have to wait for the next time. Life is changing all the time, and sometimes once the scene disappears, there is nothing you can do. You can't ask others:' Please smile again. Put that pose again. There is only one life, forever, and it is constantly being renovated. "(Bresson)

Be in the right place at the right time

"I have the gift of being in the right place at the right time; Or at least wait patiently for the right time in the right place. I went to the west coast to see the sea view the other day. I sat by the sea, looking at the clouds and imagining the changes I expected. Two hours later, the shape of the cloud was exactly the same as I expected, so I took a photo and went home. " Don McCullin

Daily small work

"Photography is a small daily job, but it should be carried out with enthusiasm and curiosity. In order to nourish it, it is necessary to cut off some connections with the place of residence. Because these associations are often the source of prejudice. Once you have prejudice, you can't see clearly: so children see it most truly; In this way, illiterate people can clearly remember what they have seen. "

(Mark Lieb)

See the world with two eyes

"Why should photography bear the burden of testifying for the real world? Bresson ordered the wide-angle lens to distort the facts. Only a standard lens of 50 cm is normal vision, and photographers of the whole era take this as the standard. In my opinion, a wide-angle lens is more normal than a standard lens. You can even say that from a limited point of view, 50 cm is a punishment. We are looking at the world with two eyes, and the camera has only one eye. No matter what lens we use, any photo is a distortion of what our eyes see. " (william klein)

I'm interested in limits.

"I'm not interested in photography philosophy, I'm interested in the limit. I always shoot the same people and the same scenes. Because I want to know these people, these situations and my own limits. It doesn't matter whether it is the first success, the fifth time or even the tenth time. "

(Kodeka)

The most important thing in life

"What we shoot is our nutrition, and every subject makes us grow a little. For me, this is the most important thing in my life, more important than publishing 52 books. " (Iwamiya Takeshi)

Quantitative loneliness

"As a photographer and a human being, I need some loneliness, so I live here, in the suburb of Tokyo 100 km. I sometimes like to face cities and people, but I need distance. " (Hamaya Hiroshi)

Obey the mysterious inner world

"I am often moved by the photography skills, but I don't like this temple very much. I was moved by it because really good skills only obey the mysterious inner world. " (Diane Arbus)

A pair of good shoes

"The first thing a photographer needs is a pair of good shoes. I have worn out countless pairs of shoes in my photography career for decades. " (Mark Lieb)

Number of possibilities

"Photography is a visual editing system. In fact, it is a question of standing in the right place at the right time, giving people a part of the imagination cone to wrap a frame. Just like playing chess or writing, it is a question of choosing from established possibilities. But as far as photography is concerned, the possibilities are not limited, but endless. " (John Zarko)

I'll arrange it myself.

"The way I take pictures is very clumsy. I don't arrange dates. I stood in front of them. I don't arrange them. I arrange it myself. " (Diane Arbus)

◎ Stone God gave it to me.

"If a dog walks up to my model and urinates on her leg, I will immediately press the shutter. It wasn't my idea. I didn't say to it,' Come, come, puppy, pee on this lady's leg. It came to pee by itself, so I pressed the shutter. This photo is mine, not the dog's. If I put the camera on a tripod, I stand in front of the camera and ask the assistant to press the shutter at a certain moment. He pressed the shutter, but this photo is still mine-because I designed this photo with Polaroid in advance. If I was hit by a stone falling from the sky, my assistant pressed the shutter when my soul died. If I can stand up and look at this photo, so much the better! I won't refuse this photo because God gave me a stone. "(helmut newton)

I'm just watching.

"I don't consider myself an intellectual or philosopher, I just observe." (Kodeka)

Tell a story

"If I can tell this story in words, I won't have to drag the camera." (Lewis Hein)

Sketchbook

"For me, the camera is a sketch book and a tool to capture instant inspiration. You have to ask questions and make decisions about everything you see in an instant, and explain to people what is happening in this world through a limited viewfinder. This is the simplest and most direct expression, but it also requires you to concentrate, be well-trained, be sensitive and have the aesthetic feeling of geometric composition. " (Bresson)

camera operator

"It is no accident that photographers will eventually become photographers and lion tamers will eventually become lion tamers." (dorothea Langer)

◎ One good photo a year

"We can't ask too much of the goddess of photography. We should take a good photo every year-maybe only once in a lifetime. We should be temperate. " Don McCullin

◎ The mind is always open to images.

"The experience of taking photos keeps my mind open to images all the time, and then allows me to roughly process them or digest them in the noise of other features." (Rob Lowe Schenberg)

Just press the shutter.

"I'm not a prepared photographer. I saw a photo there. I just pressed the shutter. " (Lee Friedlander)

◎ Look at the problem in two ways.

"Now I look at things in two ways-a childlike novelty and my past experience. For me, the only pleasure of getting old may be that when you face something, you will have a deeper understanding than before. "

(Diane Arbus)

Good photo.

"If you want to take a good photo and meet the general requirements, people must have seen it." (susan sontag)

One photo is enough.

"What I want most is to grasp the whole essence of the situation before my eyes. I am convinced that only one photo is enough. " (Bresson)

I don't know what I'm looking for yet.

"I always knew that I should close my eyes and open them again. When I choose, my eyes are not entirely mine. It has no age limit, because it is the first time to look at it and unconsciously discover what is known in the soul. I have always understood that I don't know what I am looking for, and exploration has surpassed what I have gained and pushed me forward. " (Sarah Moon)
