Quotations from famous photographers

People take pictures to drive things away from their hearts. My story is a way to close your eyes. (Kafka)

◎ The way to see the world

I don't care how the camera looks at things. I want it to look at the world 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 may 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 all the existence ends with photos. (susan sontag)

romanticism

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

Stinky photos

I handle all the bad things. Where's Richard? Avedon, on the other hand, advocates elegance ... It is very important to take smelly photos, which are related to things you have never done (maybe some kind of creative opportunity) ... Sometimes, you look at the camera frame like a kaleidoscope. You shake it, but sometimes nothing can shake it ...'

(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. Blacet or Bill. Brand, their photos have a natural fuzzy feeling, 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 a whole. Just like music, it is based on the accuracy of mathematics, but it touches us from the feeling and mind. Skill and sensibility are inseparable. (Mark Lyu3 bu4)

Decisive moment

Life is made up of billions 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. "(Champion Schaefer)
