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

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.
Bill Brandt

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

The painter constructs, the photographer discloses.
Susan Sontag

The photographer begins to feel big and bloated and so big he can't walk through one of these doors because he gets a good byline; he gets notices all over the world and so forth; but they're really - the important people are the people he photographs.
Gordon Parks

The subject matter is so much more important than the photographer.
Gordon Parks

Ansel Adams

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.
Kim Weston

What is right? Simply put, it is any assignment in which the photographer has a significant spiritual stake... spiritually driven work constitutes the core of a photographer's contribution to culture.

Whatever it takes to get the image to reach that level is what that photographer needs to do. And for me, I just have such a love of the tactile and sensuous quality of a black and white silver gelatin print.
John Sexton

When you're modeling you're actually acting for the camera and the photographer. It's more fun, too because there are no lines to memorize.
Cindy Margolis

Whether he is an artist or not, the photographer is a joyous sensualist, for the simple reason that the eye traffics in feelings, not in thoughts.
Walker Evans

Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?

Within every man and woman a secret is hidden, and as a photographer it is my task to reveal it if I can.
