I did photography, painting, and drawing, but I prefer sculpture. I like it because it's very physical.
I don't know if I can articulate how I feel. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would make it here.
There is a great difference between shooting a photograph and making a photograph.
When you can't think of anything else, photograph graffiti, nudes, or plants.
Photographers tend not to photograph what they can’t see, which is the very reason one should try to attempt it. Otherwise we’re going to go on forever just photographing more faces and more rooms and more places. Photography has to transcend description. It has to go beyond description to bring insight into the subject, or reveal the subject, not as it looks, but how does it feel?
[Photography is ] likewise even French impressionists. So the Sculls bought pop. It was politics, and they moved with it. And I think that could be happening, to some degree, with photography, too. It doesn't cost as much to do it, either.
To see is to forget the name of the thing one sees.
The body says what words cannot.
Our best pictures happen by grace.
If it makes you laugh, if it makes you cry, if it rips out your heart, that's a good picture.
I think that's what really separates me in the world of fashion is I have a real understanding of actual clothes and how they work and how they should fit and a reasonably good artistic version of photography that kind of captures that. I think that was really kind of the best combination.
We are not interested in the unusual, but in the usual seen unusually.
If acting doesn't work out, I plan to do food photography and just eat my way through the entire world. I'm a big foodie, and if I could make some career out of it, that would be fantastic.
Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the 'ah-ha'.
. . . one sees differently with color photography than black-and-white. . . in short, visualization must be modified by the specific nature of the equipment and materials being used.
I feel that whatever picture an artist makes it is in part a picture of himself - a matter of identity.
When I say I want to photograph someone, what it really means is that I'd like to know them. Anyone I know I photograph.
The urge to create, the urge to photograph, comes in part from the deep desire to live with more integrity, to live more in peace with the world, and possibly to help others to do the same.
When you shoot, that is opportunity number one to make a statement. When you edit, you have opportunity number two to make your statement. It could be an affirmation of your first choice or could go off in another direction.
I have the same themes over and over again. How I'm saying it keeps changing or growing.
