Life ain't no rehearsal, the cameras always rolling.
The camera can film my face but until it captures my soul, you don't have a movie.
I saw that the camera could be a weapon against poverty, against racism, against all sorts of social wrongs. I knew at that point I had to have a camera.
I'm funny on camera sometimes. In life, once in a while. Once in a while.
I treat the camera like a person—I gaze into it. Photos are a flat thing, and you need to put life into them.
A camera alone does not make a picture. To make a picture you need a camera, a photographer and above all a subject. It is the subject that determines the interest of the photograph.
Sometimes I feel as if we are all trapped in a movie. We know our lines, where to walk, how to act, only there is no camera. Yet, we can't break out of the movie. And it's a bad one.
If I knew how to take a good photograph, I'd do it every time.
I don’t have a philosophy. I have a camera. I look into the camera and take pictures. My photographs are the tiniest part of what I see that could be photographed. They are fragments of endless possibilities.
If you put your cameras down you might be able to live in the moment. You have a memory there of something you've never lived.
The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don't have to explain things with words.
The scary thing about the future... there will be tiny cameras everywhere, and they'll be flying around like mosquitoes and drones. That will be bad. Drones are scary. You can't reason with a drone.
I plan to join the 'SNL' band as a maraca player and stand behind saxophonist Lenny Pickett. That way they will at least cut to me before commercial breaks. I'll be sure to look right into camera.
Sometimes I feel like . . . the world is a place I bought a ticket to. It’s a big show for me, as if it wouldn’t happen if I wasn’t there with a camera.
People think that all cameramen do is point the camera at things, but it's a heck of a lot more complicated than that.
I knew from a very early age, that what I saw on tv had nothing to do with real life. So I wanted to make a record of real life. That included having a camera with me at all times.
There is 3 key things for good photography: the camera,lighting and... Photoshop
You don't rehearse jazz to death to get the camera angles.
I picked up a camera because it was my choice of weapons against what I hated most about the universe: racism, intolerance, poverty.
My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph.
All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth.
I have always avoided photographing in the studio. A woman does not spend her life sitting or standing in front of a seamless white paper background. Although it makes my life more complicated, I prefer to take my camera out into the street... and places that are out of bounds for photographers have always had a special attraction for me.
You don't have to pose your camera. The pictures are there, and you just take them. The truth is the best picture, the best propaganda. (On the Spanish Civil War, 1937)
I'm definitely a Polaroid camera girl. For me, what I'm really excited about is bringing back the artistry and the nature of Polaroid.
Animals give me more pleasure through the viewfinder of a camera than they ever did in the crosshairs of a gunsight.
