People are so wonderful that a photographer has only to wait for that breathless moment to capture what he wants on film.

Sometimes they are a matter of luck; the photographer could not expect or hope for them. Sometimes they are a matter of patience, waiting for an effect to be repeated that he has seen and lost or for one that he anticipates.

Technically, I have not changed very much. Ask my assistants. They'll tell you, I am the easiest photographer to work with. I don't have heavy equipment. I work out of one bag.
Helmut Newton

That's true, because I'm a photographer now.
Leonard Nimoy

The more pictures you see, the better you are as a photographer.
Robert Mapplethorpe

Kim Weston

Well, I liked it - that was the main thing. I liked it, but I didn't think of it in terms of a career. I didn't really know; I didn't really think about it. One thing just led to another until finally I quit my job as a salesman and found myself working as a photographer.
Herb Ritts

Well, now I'm an old photographer and I still don't sell.
