This year I am going to focus on the meaning behind a photograph and also the emotion behind it. To do this I will ask for other people's opinions of my photos and also write down what i feel when i see the photo.
“The best images are the ones that retain their strength and impact over the years, regardless of the number of times they are viewed.”
- Anne Geddes
"In photography there are no shadows that cannot be illuminated.”
- August Sander
“A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.”
- Diane Arbus
“Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.”
- Don McCullin
“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”
“It’s about reacting to what you see, hopefully without preconception. You can find pictures anywhere. It’s simply a matter of noticing things and organising them. You just have to care about what’s around you and have a concern with humanity and the human comedy.”
“The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don’t have to explain things with words.”
- Elliot Erwitt
“There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.”
- Ernst Haas
“Don’t pack up your camera until you’ve left the location.”
- Joe McNally
"Photographs open doors into the past, but they also allow a look into the future"
- Sally Mann
