Many people, from the beginning at today, have talked about Photography. Everyone telling a different story in a very personal way.

So Baudelaire talked against Photography because he thought it wasn't and would never be an Art. Someone thought otherwise. Avedon said that if he didn't do every day something related to photography, it was just like if he had forgotten to wake up.

I started collecting quotes about Photography almost 10 years ago. I'm sure I can learn so much, about people and photography, if I can understand the mood and feelings of people when they discover and approach to Photography. There is something very deep and emotional about photography and one can choose to love or hate it but not ignore it.

In this book I've selected over 400 quotes from famous people somehow related to photography. Famous people that had something to say… About Photography.

Quotes

  • Дарья Кузнецоваhas quoted6 years ago
    I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn't photograph them.
    What moves me about (...) what's called technique...is that it comes from some mysterious deep place. I mean it can have something to do with the paper and the developer and all that stuff, but it comes mostly from some very deep choices somebody has made that take a long time and keep haunting them.

      Let the subject speak for itself. Be true to the subject. Pretty pictures are only an escape from the subject. Don’t photograph a good-looking branch just because it looks nice; the branch should mean something about the community. Photography is statement; it has to tell us things about a place.
