“I put myself in the student's place and remember the frustrations, doubts, determination, and desires I felt when I was going through the initial learning process. The things we now do automatically, such as perspective, pencil control, values and composition were as unfamiliar and intimidating as a foreign language.” RememberDesireValuesLanguageFeltProcessDoubtStudentsPerspectiveDeterminationFrustrationCompositionPencilsInitialsIntimidatingUnfamiliarLearning ProcessWorkshopsForeign Language Author:Ted Martinez
“And one has to remember that no photography can pretend to show the truth. A picture only shows a given situation under a very specific perspective, consciously or not, openly or not, relevantly or not. Photographers have to accept they can just convey fragments of illusory realities and relate their own intimate experience of the world. In this process of fictionalising an unreachable truth, it's up to them to impose their doubts about any photographic truth, or accept being impotent pawns in the mediatic game.” WorldShowsRealityRememberGamesGivenProcessSituationAcceptingDoubtPerspectivePhotographyPhotographerRelateIntimateFragmentsPawnsIllusoryUnreachable Author:Antoine D'Agata
“Taking photographs seems to be a means to express some kind of emotional, abstractive narrative. I look at the images that I'm most proud of like a film about the world the way I see it (or at least saw it at that moment, a perspective that seems to be ever-shifting and filled with self-doubt.)” WorldWayLooksKindMeanSelfMomentsSeemsFilmDoubtSawsEmotionalPerspectiveProudFilledPhotographNarrativeThat MomentShiftingSelf-doubt Author:Anton Yelchin
