photography

Women that can work a camera with ease often work men just as effortlessly for both require the same commitment to vanity and manipulation.

It's like a malicious person lifting a photograph from the developing chemicals too early, and then pronouncing the photographer incompetent.

A society where feminine beauty is defined not by the human self on genuine intellectual and sentimental grounds, but by a computer software on the grounds of economic interest, is more dead than alive. It is a society of human bodies, not human beings.

There is no question that photography has played a major role in the environmental movement.

[Photography] allows me to accede to an infra-knowledge; it supplies me with a collection of partial objects and can flatter a certain fetishism of mine: for this 'me' which like knowledge, which nourishes a kind of amorous preference for it. In the same way, I like certain biographical features which, in a writer's life, delight me as much as certain photographs; I have called these features 'biographemes'; Photography has the same relation to History that the biographeme has to biography.

Photography, alone of the arts, seems perfected to serve the desire humans have for a moment - this very moment - to stay.

Photography can never grow up if it imitates some other medium. It has to walk alone it has to be itself.

I think photographers are too polite. There is not enough anger in photography it's pretty much trivialized.

Photography, painting or poetry - those are just extensions of me, how I perceive things; they are my way of communicating.

I don't think that digital photography is romantic yet. It's not sympathetic the way that film is.

People don't have time to wait for somebody to paint their portraits anymore. The money is in photography.

Technology has eliminated the basement darkroom and the whole notion of photography as an intense labor of love for obsessives and replaced them with a sense of immediacy and instant gratification.

Light-field photography is a transformational technology that needs a transformational product to introduce it. For the first time, we have a light-field camera that's going to be for everyone - not something in a huge room in a research facility.

When you think about it, media's the intersection of content and technology - it's all about storytelling, like photography and the camera.

Photography is a major force in explaining man to man.

What makes photography a strange invention is that its primary raw materials are light and time.

The arts equally have distinct departments, and unless photography has its own possibilities of expression, separate from those of the other arts, it is merely a process, not an art.

The art of photography is all about directing the attention of the viewer.
