“As photographers, we have to find our own identity, our own voice, our own vocabulary. And my question all the time is whether this vocabulary is limited, like our own vocabulary that goes from A to Zed, or whether this vocabulary can carry on growing. And to me, I hope that it carries on growing.” VoiceGrowingIdentityPhotographerCarrieVocabulary Author:Mario Testino
“Most photographers go and photograph something that they see, that exists, and that somebody else has created - they document it. But fashion photographers have to create what they're going to photograph. We have to go into the thought and build it up, get a girl, get a guy, get a situation, get the house, get the decor. It's the meaning of the word photography: "writing with light."” WritingLightGuyGirlHouseSituationFashionPhotographyPhotographerPhotographDocumentsDecorGet A Girl Author:Mario Testino
