I got five kids, and my oldest is a documentary film maker and camera man, and still photographer.

I never question what to do, it tells me what to do. The photographs make themselves with my help.

My mother had taken me to photographer Paul Hesse, who used some of my pictures on magazine covers.

Mum is a photographer, and Dad does world music and plays almost every instrument except for drums.

One reason I was interested in photography was to get away from the preciousness of the art object.

I'm not a photographer, so I need all the help I can get when it comes to make a picture look cool.

My way of photographing is my way of life. I photograph from my experience, my way of seeing things.

I enjoy very much seeing a good photographer working. There’s an elegance, just like in a bullfight.

If I saw something in my viewfinder that looked familiar to me, I would do something to shake it up.

Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past.

To compose a subject well means no more than to see and present it in the strongest manner possible.

I've posed nude for a photographer in the manner of Rodin's Thinker, but I merely looked constipated.

I have never taken a picture for any other reason than that at that moment it made me happy to do so.

We don't have enough words for photography. Can you imagine writers having only one word for writing?

I can get obsessed by anything if i look at it long enough. That's the curse of being a photographer.

Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer - and often the supreme disappointment.

As a landscape photographer we should be open to possibilities, for one thing often leads to another.

Photographers are always voyeuristic, and they do sort of live vicariously. I think every artist does.

The wandering photographer sees the same show that everyone else sees. He, however, stops to watch it.

My responsibility as a photographer, to my subjects, is to know what's going to happen with my images.

It's not just when you shoot, or what you shot, or where you shoot, it's the combination of the three.

The only way to understand something is to be confronted by something that is difficult to understand.

I'm very lucky that I've worked mainly with two amazing photographers in David Sims and Steven Meisel.

A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.

I find myself every so often looking at my ground glass as though the unrecorded image might escape me!

Believe in yourself. Listen to the photographers you work with, and try to be professional at all time.

No matter how slow the film, Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer It has chosen.

In America, the photographer is not simply the person who records the past, but the one who invents it.

I look at ordinary objects, and I see things that other people don't see. That's why I'm a photographer.

The only thing that's difficult is reloading when things are happening. Can you get it done fast enough?

Me and my friends had BMX magazines and skate magazines, and I was a photographer who made skate videos.

The thing I loved the most about being art director was picking the photographers and working with them.

A creative photographer is one who either captures mystery or reveals things, everything else is useless

I'm a documentary photographer. That's what I've always wanted to be; that's where my heart and soul is.

If I came out a photographer it's because I knew about painting, composition, and the handling of light.

If I am dissatisfied, it's simply because good photos are few and far between. A good photo is a miracle.

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

All the photographers were trying to just get me off, which was hilarious. But it was very, very amusing.

If I'd had the nerve, I'd have become a thief or a gangster, but since I didn't, I became a photographer.

It is a little weird seeing photographs from parties where you didn't even know a photographer was there.

The pictures have a reality for me that the people don't. It is through the photographs that I know them.

Photographers, it is true, do not work but they do do something: They create, process, and store symbols.

You can't just turn on when something happens, you have to be turned on all the time. Then things happen.

I sell my first book to Random House, a memoir of my years as a war photographer, for twice my NBC salary.

We are not only a civilization of amateur photographers; we are amateur curators, editors, and publishers.

Many times we are tempted to defer to the documents we create, rather than the direct experiences we have.

I get photographers hiding in my bushes. We're way past autographs. We're into being stalked and followed.

I'm not an artist. An artist makes an object. Me, it's not an object, I work in history, I'm a storyteller.

I admired a tremendous number of photographers, but for some reason I arrived at a point of view of my own.

I am someone who takes pleasure in exploring the full scale of the medium photography. I am a photographer.
