“When the novice photographer starts taking pictures, he carries his camera about and shoots everything that interests him. There comes a time when he must crystallize his ideas and set off in an particular direction. He must learn that shooting for the sake of shooting is dull and unprofitable.” IdeasInterestParticularPhotographyCamerasPhotographerSakeShootingDullCarrieThere Comes A TimeTaking PicturesNovices Author:Alexey Brodovitch
“The personality and style of a photographer usually limits the type of subject with which he deals best. For example Cartier-Bresson is very interested in people and in travel; these things plus his precise feeling for geometrical relationships determine the type of pictures he takes best. What is of value is that a particular photographer sees the subject differently. A good picture must be a completely individual expression which intrigues the viewer and forces him to think.” PeopleThinkingFeelingsValuesIndividualForceDealsSubjectsStyleExampleParticularExpressionTypePersonalityLimitsPhotographyPhotographerDeterminePlusPreciseViewersIntrigueCartierIndividual Expression Author:Alexey Brodovitch
